Good enough reasons, we are also cautious about knows we have firearms in the house.bnz41 wrote:We live on a busy main road and don't get on with the neighbours. One side, lets just say are not from this continent and have lots of people "staying" with them. We are never sure if they are in as they never put lights on and don't even answer the door to the police.
The other side we just don't see eye to eye with. (A long story).
We just don't think it is a good idea to broadcast that there are firearms on the premises.

"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.

Re: Fox problem
Just trap it as others have said and then stab the little f***. Tape a knife to a stick if you're not keen getting close.
Quiet and just as dead.

Re: Fox problem
Hi Scotsgun.
I read your post with interest but stab where for a clean kill (if you can with a knife) would not want the animal to suffer.

Re: Fox problem
If i have to trap one and kill quietly then i'll wear a set of full length welders mitts that stretch right up to the elbow, reach in and grab it either around the muzzle or behind the neck if possible.bnz41 wrote:Hi Scotsgun.

Take a knife and plunge it in at the bottom of the neck, but over the top of the ribs - essentially the soft spot above where the ribs start. Turn the knife around a bit and withdraw. A large gush of blood will come out with the knife and the fox will die within seconds if you hold its rear above the wound. Essentially all the blood in its chest will flood out of the wound.
Once killed, burn the carcass or burry it where a dog can't get at it. Dogs will easily get the mange, fleas or worse from their carcasses.

Re: Fox problem
Urban fox? Confirm it is dead and bury it. I doubt bunging it in a wheelie bin is a good option.

Re: Fox problem
You could always take it to a vet for a lethal injection, personally I'd give it a lump of lead. Relocating any pest species is against the law as Spud said, it's the relocation of pests act and is therefore law.
