FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) The other evening I went to a sheep farm that I carry out fox control on. I went to check an earth that I knew held cubs , but on inspection they had been moved. Any way I found that they had only been moved 1 field further and were in some very dense nettles adjoining a sheep field grazed short by the sheep. I stalked the farm first seeing a couple of roe does , one of which I stalked to within 20 yards of. Next I nearly trod on a fox lying in a patch of nettles . I continued further to a badger sett where I saw the sow and 5 cubs out playing................. I then headed back to the farm where the farmer said " Have you dealt with them cubs yet ?" I replied not yet but I will go and see if I can pick some up now and headed back to where Id seen signs of the cubs , on arrival I spied a cub out lying on the grass just outside the nettles ............... A nice walkabout seeing roe , fox and badger ........................better than watching the footie.............. Edited June 14, 2008 by FOXHUNTER Quote Link to post
