comanche 3,076 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I snared a grey one ,not a speck of brown in it ,Silver, I suppose you'd call it.I skinned it and was going to keep it but my Boss decided it was something he wanted and kept the skin in his Shoot lodge until the farm collie was accidently shut in there overnight. Result -no more fox skin! A Keeper a few miles away shot one at night about the same time.He said it was a bit wierd as in the beam he could see what appeared to be a fox's shadow but no fox until he realised that the shadow was the fox! Also, on a vermin drive on the extreme edge of this chap's ground we flushed a fox that was so strange no body shot at . It was marked like a Cape hunting dog. Only when we conferred after the drive did every one agree that it really was a fox . Maybe it was recovering from a skin disease that had affected fur regrowth but to be honest it looked healthy and hairy not at all mangy. That white-muzzled fox is something special .Would be interesting to see if any other like it turn up in the area.Definatly worth taxidermizing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
collie/grey 238 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 It looks like a very old aged one to me, bit like an old dog going grey/white in old age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
