Fox Cubs

[Deker 3,478]

Have you seen any/many so far?

Out Friday and saw the Vixen sitting in plain sight with 2 cubs who seemed remarkably large for this time of year, something else disturbed them and they scarpered before I got a picture.

Not seen any yet, normally May you will start to see the little fluff balls in a couple of places at the shoot, where the vixen lays them up for the day, a friend of a friend shot 3 plus the vixen 3 weeks ago in Norfolk

Not seen Cubs but heard of a few litters being dispatched. Watched a vixen (I think) on Friday night going to a place so I’m watching it. Only just started lambing here so I’ll expect a call soon

Heard one of the keepers shot 13 foxes and asked a mate to deal with a den of cubs , That didnt go down to well LOL

It's good eating in the area I saw them (Free Range Chicken Farm), so looks like they started early, they are definitely bigger than I would expect so must have been born early!

I average 14 a year on this site and have been shooting it the best part of 20 years, it just doesn't stop!

I think they are still in lockdown, I normally get there in the eve and they are locked away anyway then, but the fox seems to still find a way!!!
