How do you know it was shot if no shooting allowed on the farm ? More likely to be killed by dogs. Looks a bit ragged to me. 

It was shot and clearly see the entry and exit wound but maybe not in the picture

Even more annoying is the shooters who ride round in the summer, shooting at and missing foxes then by September every fox in the area is lamp shy.

Even more annoying is the dog lads running foxes with dogs that cant catch them and making them lamp shy

I love each and every one of the chaps who leave more on the ground for me to find  underground....

As a side note i have dug more than one fox that had been shot before and one poor fox was missing the top half of it's shoulders and i smelt the rot before i even broke through to it,one of the worse sights i have ever seen on any living animal...

Dug one with a snare round it’s neck this winter, poor b*****d.

It’s sickening, technology is one thing that’s done the fox no favours for sure with all the thermal and night vision that every shooter has nowadays. If it wasn’t for towns and built up areas there would hardly be a fox anywhere. Places I know that used to hold decent numbers are piss poor now due to the rifle brigade, most of which couldn’t walk the length of themselves. Hard going for dog lads now.

I’m from a keepering background myself and would shoot cubs every year. Wasn’t something I had a problem doing, but at the same time was never something I got any enjoyment out of. was just a necessity of the job. 

But now I’m out of it an just hunt an shoot as a hobby , it would never enter my head to seek out a litter an wipe them out with a rifle just for sport. Let’s be real there is no sport in that. 

To be honest as the more years go by the less bothered iv been about shooting an numbers, an the more I just love working dogs , wether it be a gundog or a runner

Exactly pal, at least with the dogs you know if the job has been done or not .
