0.4 was the number they have given to take annually.. tbh it’s gone very quiet over the whole scheme.. this is the kind of opinion of sheep massacre locally that is predicted ! https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/lynx-sheep-massacre-raises-fresh-13877945.amp

I love that fly fishing fox watching story Matty, I remember you telling me.

I’ve shot plenty back in the day, and totally appreciate the need for control, but wouldn’t now unless there was a really specific need.

There’s a lot of people out there indiscriminately blatting everything without knowing how foxes work.

Take out an alpha dog and you get a surfeit of pretenders moving in vying for his territory, and you get more problems.

Seeing a fox out on a walk now is far more satisfying to me than not seeing one. It’s rare, because Dutchie hates foxes!

We met one in heavy snow up the woods a few years back, it just trotted up the ride towards both of us, jinked slightly to avoid a head-on, and gave us an ‘Alright?’ glance as he passed a few yards away.

Weirdly, Dutchie sort of did the same.

Magical.

I hope the fox respected convention and passed Dutchie on the left hand side.

I became a Vegy for three years after .. now I do eat meat but want to know it’s source

I’m not veggie I only eat poultry and fish, no meat, poultry from a local butchers who rear their own, fish from fish mongers. 

 

Mainly due to supporting local businesses and knowing practices are better. Hard to be completely moral if your buying a product.

All interesting reading, the farm near me have very little problems with foxes until some do gooders let some going near by then all hell is let lose Chickens killed and sheep chased about as they are probably mainly town foxes let go and have not seen a sheep before.
