Daytime foxes are a menace to anyone trying to keep poultry and the reason we get them? Because people feed them and they become bold. the right place for foxes is during the night because they are afraid of us, and it should be so. |

Don't think the neighbours opposite would be too happy if I started taking pot shots at foxes - might hit his new BMW. On the other hand..... -- hugh |

If you attract an armed response team you might lose your life. Hypothetical situation - I don't actually have a gun. And if I did, hopefully I would be aware of the restrictions as to use. -- hugh |

Shooting in a residential area? Don't be silly. I doubt there are many poultry keepers there either. Janet I have a large male fox come into the garden every night, usually about 30 mins. after dusk. Any food left over, cat food etc I usually put out just before it gets dark but last night because of the heavy snow I left it till later. When I saw the fox in the garden, it activates the floodlight, I went to take out some rather tasty giblets from a duck we where having. Now we also have a semi wild Tabby cat which spends some time in the conservatory and on smelling the food followed me up the garden, I could see the fox hiding at the top. This tabby Is very small, must have been the runt, and started to help itself to the giblets, got back to the house and the fox came down to eat but the tabby was not having it and kept chasing it away so the fox hid at the top of the garden until the cat had had its fill. I am always reading about foxes killing cats but I do think that foxes have an undeserved reputation, I also have a firearm (licensed) but there is no way I would shoot an animal for doing what is natural to it. |

One night we had a vixen on the front lawn calling. He went and hid upstairs in the bathroom. Obviously didn't fancy a bit of rough!! -- hugh |
