How many times in your life have you seen a fox?

[Gyanyem]

Seen loads and have had some really close encounters. I smell them even more than I see them... Fox poo is one of those odours you never forget - once you find out what it is.

One of the most foul smells known to man.

Ruislip woods and black Bess woods would have been good for that but the people hugging the trees don’t like that

nothing will ever stop me from working with dogs that’s bred to do a job. It’s in me blood, the antis like to think there making a difference but am yet to come across one at 3 in the morning in the middle of a field pissing down with rain and nasty winds.. Those out of season summer days is a different question though.

Drove over a fresh roadkill skunk last week, you could smell it from 40 yards, worse than any fox

Worse if you have a dog that likes to roll on it.
My dog did this once when very young but luckily has never done it since.
Get loads visiting our garden at night and they always take away the grey rats with tails that I shoot in the garden.
I find them incredible animals.

Getting some steaks next week.
Very good indeed.

Nice wild common that in the Avatar.

Muntjac were common place between Ruislip and Northwood where we lived in London. Most nights you would see them running about. They didn’t seem very scarce then mind

Keep nibbling my young trees at night.

Why dogs love rolling around in crap is baffling, maybe what smells foul to us smells sweet to dogs.

It's practically worthless in some places

It's still done in some communities. There's been a cuffuffle as some travelers still do it. You can't legally hunt with dogs but flushing is ok with them but they should then be shot rather than killed by the dogs

Don't understand why, great meat, I have eaten four of our six species, and whitetail and mule deer.

Chinese water deer is an absolute treat to the pallet.

 

[Wise Man Says]

There are loads of them here in south London, it’s pretty easy to see one a night.

An absolute beauty.
His Dad was a field champion but he is a ruined sofa dog.
The biggest Lab I have ever had (4 in total). No fat on him whatsoever.

 

[Gyanyem]

im a long dog lurcher man, but appreciate a nice lab when a see one. Credit to you mate... sofa or not he’d still do a job on retrieve if shown the ropes a little I bet.

Our local ones have been productive in lockdown:

 

[Kid Galahad]

Seen quite a few foxes around Ryhope/Grangetown area, one crossed the road in front of me yesterday outside of the Raich Carter centre, 7.30 in the morning not a care in the world.

 

[Shandy drinker]

Never seen one in postal boundary SR5. Seen a ferret though.

When I lived in Edinburgh there were loads of urban foxes where we lived, and they had absolutely no fear of humans. After one drunken night out my wife tried to invite one into our flat. I’m not sure what she was going to do with it if it had worked.

foxing the new dogging

I had to laugh at my street WhatsApp group when someone put out a warning as a fox had been spotted in the street. Watch out for your dogs and cats!

We have foxes in the street and gardens most evenings, you just need to be up late. But, it shows the general panic people have. A fox will back away from most cats and dogs. When you consider the dogs in the street are collies, lab cross, greyhound/doberman cross and a mastif, most dogs in the street would knack a fox.
