Guest hyperion Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 the only way to be sure would be by telling the enviroment agency and seeing if they would do an autopsy! might end up wishing you never botherd though! cheers hyperion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin 332 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 They could be shot with a rimfire at range,so you might not get an obvious entry wound,and no exit wound,also some BT rounds have no exit,they just obliterate everything inside..........possible.I actually found one on one of my permissions,and,will be taking a keen interest to check for lampers/poachers................martin.

waz77 15 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I once found a dead fox lying as tho it was asleep nr a stream,i went to farm nearby and he was poisoning rats(he had quite a prob and i saw a few sloping about in the few mins i was there doped up from the poison) i then checked an ash earth nearby and found a litter of cubs with dozens of part eaten rats and tails that the dog n vixen had been taking from yard.I concluded the dog fox had poisoned itself on the rats and due to the poison gone to the stream to drink before keeling over.No doubt the council will be poisoning rats on the landfill and could be the reason for the deaths??

Well,the one I found was beside the river,so,it is a possibility,as there was a bit of blood from the nose and mouth,only a very small amount though...............martin.
