    Hi,

    I have a Fox or two taking my hens. It was once a week but now it is once every 2nd day and it is getting closer to the House.

    Anybody Interested coming out and hunting in Clonee, Meath/Dublin Boarder? (10 mins from M50)

    It has a track into out field where it crosses a river so shouldn't take long!! and a trail of feathers back to the ditch.

    PM me and only boards members with a history/many posts will be entertained!!

    Thanks :)

    You haven't added your proposals for 'dealing' with any captured fox:confused:

    I assume if the OP has posted here for help they would rather someone else 'deals' with the problem.

    I reckon he was legit.

    Problem is getting the fox to give you a safe shot.

    Foxes tend to know where it i safe for them to be ;)

    offered my services aswell but didnt get any reply poor form if you ask me and I think I was first of the mark.
    Maybe the fox bypassed the chickens and ate the owner instead.

    You coundnt really be shooting foxes with a.17hmr. A .223 would be the right job.;)

    That would not agree with my hunting ethos. .17hmr is a small rabbit gun. .223 if you ever get one you wont look back.;) As I see in your previous posts youd get one if you could lad.:cool:

    Who cares what you think................he ain't doing anything illegal and as he says he gets clean kills. Maybe he don't need to substitute power for accuracy ;)

    Have plenty of experience with different larger calibers and if you read my previous posts you will see i said i would have one but i enjoy the rabbit shooting too so the hmr suits me at the moment as an all rounder. im not disagreeing with you that the 223 is a better for the job and when i can afford one i will get one but as it stands i have great success with the hmr on foxes so its not against my hunting ethics. suggest you try it before you knock it
