Hi Guys, Someone is very helpful in the b'ham area, catching foxes alive....loading them into a van and driving them down to Powys (Wales) to release them near one of the farms i shoot over. Its a proper pain in the ass as they hunt in the daytime and take their chickens during the day! Awesome NOT!!!!!

Get the van registration, it's illegal to release them in to the wild.


While we're on the subject, what would be required of a person to remove (shoot) urban foxes as a business?
This came up today as the Sun also had an article about it. One bloke charged £400 for shooting 11 in one garden one night.

Now I'm old and don't spend a lot I could last all week on one nights work

In the article I saw (not read, as I didn't have the time), I think they were calling him the 'Fox Assassin" .

17 hmr with night vision if its in someones garden in a built up area....but you need to be elevated....upstairs window or such like. And do let the neighbours know.. very sticky subject legally. My mate got the go ahead with his 223 on allotments in oxford, he liaised with the local police.

It said this chap uses .22 rimfire, which I think is technically legal ? I'm sure this is the bloke that was on tv some time ago, he always shoots from an upstairs window at night. The tv programme shows him shooting from behind curtains (if I remember correctly), probably as much for the neighbour problem as anything else.
