a vixen in 5 mins

[jakepotjo 3]

i was working last night and got a call from a fellow taxi driver saying he has seen a fox a sleep at the side of the road were ther was cubs last year well its 2 mins from a farm that has been looseing new born calf and i had a dog fox on ther a week ago

 

well i went to the spot the see drove past and ther she was curled up as i passed she lifted her head top look at me i turned round and came back past her i stoped ten yards away from her and she never moved this was about 2 30 am so i left her be as i needed to be at work i finneshed work at 4 30 and came home passing the spot on my way and she was not ther so i thourt ill leave her an hour and come back at about half five i jumped in my car with the rim as this was on the side of a country lane and i new i could get a good clean shot at her head a two minn it drive to were she was from my house and ther she was curled up like befor pointed the lights on her at about 35 yards mounted the rifle on the wing mirrow lined the cross hairs up on her head just above her eyes and squeezed the trigger and it was game over for her all in the space of 5 mins i was back home

 

naw i have thrown a couple of phesants under the hedge so as the cubs would at least have some thing to eat till they venture out my gess is ther around 4-5 weeks old as she is not bagged with milk but has a bit abd the amount of cutts to her teets means they have some teeth ill feed the cubs for as long as needed till they come out as the headge is that thick its not enterable with a dog

 

naw my question is why the heck did a country fox sit ther

and if ther is a barren vixen working with the shot pair will she move the cub as if the dog i shaot was not the dog of the litter i know he will not move them

 

thank you atb

How sad are you shooting a vixen feeding cubs and killing your own sport,perhaps when you go to bed tonight you will think of those cubs starving to death and all alone,its people like yourself that gives country sport a bad name why do you think the hounds stop at breeding season,hopefully you will hit hard times and go down with something for your selfish actions,there will be a few unscrupulous members that will agree with your actions and there will be those that dont,lets start this discussion going.

ok leave it let it keep takeing the lively hood of the farmer and let him pass my permishion on you see ther is pest control and sport all in two sides to this hounds running dogs ect are sport shooting is pest control for me a fox killing live stock is a pest and needs dealing with what i could rant on is working earth dogs why dig a fox and let if you did not need to dig it why put a dog in so keep your beak out

ever heared of dislexer fartin 65

 

thats what i have and people on here have come to terms with it dont you think i have tryed all my life but its some thing i cant over come so go play with your self

If a Fox is causing trouble, then it needs to be taken care of, end of story, no further discussion.

 

It may be unethical, it may cause you to consider your conscience but it has to be done.

 

People's livelihood depends on not losing their stock, and this time of year, Lambs and Calfs are everywhere, what do you expect the Farmer to do? Sit there and watch his stock for the coming year slowly disappear?

 

Keep it in proportion to the situation and circumstances.

I have seen plenty but being a terrier man i would finish the job properly

shooting foxes isnt a sport it a way to protect livestock and game birds and i dont think you should see it as a sport ever

the hedge is too thick for a dog to enter the holes, if a fox can get in so can a terrier

[v-max 2]

Hi i dont have a problem with killing vixens at this time if lambs etc are going missing. If you know the earth then get a terrier man & give it ago but cubs can be a pain with terriers but sure someone would be keen to help out & deal with them.

then thers all the law issue i have my own earth dog and plenty of friens with earth dogs i am saying this headge is that thick it would need a jcb to enter it so putting a dog in is a no no as you cant locat it and dig here other wise i would of done it all in one sweep
