Foxes and wet places

[OldNog 432]

Have many people ever found foxes holding up in wet places such as marhes, bogs, wet woods?

 

I remember seeing a thread on here a while back last year about someones day out and they were digging an earth on a real wet looking place

Foxes love bogs and marshy places. Plenty of picking for them and they'll find a raised sod to make their bed.

IMO when you find a fox to ground in a wet spot though it's because you've unknowingly put him to ground.

neil your spot on i've come across many foxes when beating and rough shooting in marshy areas they seam to lay up in the reeds where the ground is raised most of them looked as if they had been sleeping and where sluggish when first flushed i think the dense reedbeds hide them well and its warm but in my opinion the densnnes cuts down the sound and scent of anything approaching them just my theory.

I once had a fox fur coat: long time ago before antis were likely to throw paint at you for wearing fur: that coat was waterproof, windproof and once spent hours lying on a wet road in the middle of winter under a car when trying to fix a fan belt with a pair of tights LOL: Just brushed the sh*t off it and let it dry and it was as good as new! One of the finest pelts known to animals I reckon.

The mind boggles! LOL It was a very long time ago And no, I didn't have a camera with me: it was on a road in France in the middle of the night and me and my sister were going home for Christmas: never saw another soul all night: just as well perhaps
