Jude 85 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 What’s the fox populations like in everybody’s areas this year, seems to get less and less every year around here, the thermal/night vision combination with rife is definitely the culprit. Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,568 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Thermals, night vision and no rabbits can't be helping. Quote Link to post
Borr 6,571 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 I spoke to chap last year about some beating for the kids, happened to mention he'd been out 3 nights and had 15 foxes , they've hit them harder than ever for sure, I've bought a thermal, be nice to spot one let alone get one, urban lads got best chance , countryside is getting wiped out , used to see one every few walks here , not seen one on my doorstep for two years....

Borr 6,571 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 On a positive though they'll never be wiped out unlike the rabbit and hare, which have far greater risk from disease Quote Link to post
