"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

A better solution all round might be bribery. Put out some tasty food in the neighbours' gardens: that way charlie gets his scran, the neighbours get a new pet and your garden gets left alone...

Re: Urban foxes-advice needed
If you read the original post, it is because the neighbours feed the little darlings that there is a problem. Likely thing is that the affected garden is en route from home to dinner, or just taken as part of territory.
Unless you want a serious war with the neighbours, my advice is to not shoot or trap them, just deter them.
If you remove the riginal ones that are the problem, you are just inviting more to move in, as sure as eggs is eggs, the food will still be put down.
To remove foxes, and do it effectively, you really need the co-operation of most if not all the close neighbours.
In any case, non lethal methods must always be the first option in such cases.

Thanks folks,
I will be popping down in a couple of weeks so I think a boot laden with chicken wire, tent pegs and tie wraps might be the order of the day.

Re: Urban foxes-advice needed
Salut,
I used to have a big fox problem . They used to drag in bin foraged food and even a dirty nappy ...Yuk
My tiny garden is mainly covered by decking. I started to wash it from time to time with deluted Detol. It is a cheap product, it takes me abt 10 mns to brush the surface with detol -water, the smell is not unpleasant and it seems to have done the trick.

I have some very nice sub-sonic .308 ammo I made, with a decent mod it's almost silent 
There's room for all Gods creatures, next to the mash and gravy :)
