They shoot foxes, don’t they?

London has returned to normal – people crowd onto the tube, the No.30 buses are running late as usual & your humble correspondent has been shooting more foxes – although admittedly, not in London. See, I told you that (in the light of the Hunting Ban), this sort of thing would happen. Farmers that previously tolerated the fox population because the local hunt controlled the numbers, are now systematically destroying them with bullet, snare & gas.

Thus it pains me (&you know it does) to have report to you dear readers the untimely demise, on Saturday night, of this young chappie, taken at 180 yards

& then his sister, shot at 200 yards.

Unfortunately there are 2 further siblings & a vixen to deal with as they, not unsurprisingly , thinned out at a rate of knots . Rest assured that the strategy for a swift resolution to this unfinished business is already in place.

Cracking shooting, well done!

I think it should be at least 300 yards to be sporting.

The comments should be fun to watch...

The morons here passed a law 10 years ago banning hunting cougars with dogs. Since then, the number of attacks on humans has skyrocketed, and instead of hunters paying through the nose for permits, the state has to pay people to curb the cougar population.

Why can't we just let the fish-n-wildlife biologists determine hunting levels instead of vegetarian baristas?

Just curious, what caliber rifle, firing what bullet?

Considering the size of the exit holes and distance, I'd guess something in the 6mm/100 gr range, velocity about 3,000 fps.

I didn't know Cougars kept dogs.........

Funny as ever

your gore is unimpressive. congratulations on butchering small animals for sport.

You are evil people they are helpless animals. I would love to hurt you the way you hurt them.

You are all sick fuckers. You should all go to hell. Obviously you are mentally ill as you are barbarically killing poor, innocent and helpless animals who are just trying to live a normal life as we do. SICK FUCKERS!!!

Hey, dumbasses who act like michael devon uk just make those "barbaric" people want to do it more just to piss you off. So uh, just because a guy killed a fox, that means you can insult him and use language like that just to try to get him to stop. You're about the most hypocritical person I've seen. Besides, they must control the animal population otherwise they will endanger another animal's population and their own... so while you think it may be wrong to kill something quick and easy, think about how they will starve to death if the population gets too high. I'm sure you don't go and bitch at an aligator for eating a wildabeast, do you? No, so don't bitch at people for trying to help the other foxes that aren't getting shot, to survive.

Foxes are people too you know. You don't see rabbits attacking bears do you? That is it, after seeing these pictures I'm done eating rocks. This world is just crazy.

I will have to agree with you that using harsh language and yelling won't sway them any. They will still continue to do it. But, I don't belive that killing them in that mannor (or at all) will help "control" the population or make it any better for them. Who are we to judge on what dies and what stays? Nature should just be left alone to do what needs to be done. If a type of animal goes down in numbers because of ANOTHER ANIMAL, then that was nature's way of doing business. If we move and colonize into more areas, then we start beliving that other animals will "overrun other animals" and blame them, not ourselves. So yeah, nobody bitches if an alligator kills a wildabeast: he did it for a reason, more than likely food. But why do we kill things? Because they are just trying to survive and we are invading there space...and we don't even do anything once it's dead, except skin it and hang it on the wall. Some people are sooo proud of something they killed from a long range with a gun when it didn't even have a chance. I think we should just let nature do it's thing and leave it alone!

shooting foxes with high calibre rifles such as 7mm rem mag and 30/06 springfield at night is like making love to your wife non stop for a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!such a buzz

Don't shoot foxes

YOU PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTING.. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO FEELINGS.. AND CAN BE SO STUPID.. YOU THINK YOUR COOL THAT YOU SHOT A INNOCENT DEFFENSLESS ANIMAL? I HOPE YOU FUCKIN DIE YOU PEOPLE ARE A FLAW TO NATURE.. GO KILL YOURSELVES

Please have some respect for nature. Plants, Animals, Insects and micro-organizms live in harmony with each other. Why can't we live in harmony with the environment, and respect animals, such as FOXES? Because ALL ANIMALS, LIKE Foxes have feelings, and amotions just like us, it has been proven by scientists. Besides there are ways to get a fox off your farm, or off your property, like STRONG CENTS that your can buy specificaly for making foxes leave, there are sertain cents that foxes do not like.

I cant belive you shoot foxes :(

You sure aren't acting pained about killing a innocent animal from 200 yards away is just sickening, and at least have the decency to aknowledge that other people find this sort of thing deplorable and not post pictures on the internet. This makes me utterly disgusted.
You should be ashamed.

I use a mauser 22.250 with an expanding 55 grain bullet, sound moderator & night site. Sops them dead up 300 yrds. Never fails

kill them al there vermin

kill them al there vermin

HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT MY KIND ARE VERMIN!!!YOU WILL ALL SUFFER A GROTESQUE AND PAINFUL DEATH AS THEY HAVE!!!! You should be aware that foxes like me are endangered...

PS i am only half fox....demon that is!

Hunting, what a sport. I’m going shoot at something that’s hundreds of meters away, that has no chance of defending itself, because it feeds my ego. They end up going home, talking to there friends about the great time they had, sitting on there ass for hours waiting for an animal to show up so they can shot it and parade its dead body around. Now they have places where a bunch of animals are trapped in a pen so the hunters don’t have to look for them. I could understand if you were going after the animal alone, with only a knife, which would actually take guts and skill. As for your bullshit response, “ They’re over populated and are destroying the rest of the environment,” well they wouldn’t be if you hadn’t wiped out all of their natural predators.

Justice you miss the point - after you have shot them its even more fun winding up people like you. Thanks for endless laughs at you & Mr Fox's expense

You can not even begin to imagine how much this hurts me to see. It's not just that two of earth's defenseless creatures were killed, it's that you find amusement in killing them and upsetting people who actually care about the future. I am not going to say that you should be murdered like these foxes were, because no one in the world deserves that. You can laugh all you want at me and "Mr Fox's" pain because I know this won't change your mind the slightest bit or make you suffer with a guilty conscience.

By the way, I hope you are reincarnated as a fox. :)

i just wanted to say that killing foxes, coyotes, and all other varmints is a noble thing to do...not to mention a complete blast. And to those of you who are whining about how greusome it is to post this on the internet...NO ONE ASKED YOU TO LOOK AT IT! Foxes and other varmints are the main problem with the small number of game birds where i live. I kill any that i see. So to the shooter congratulations at two in a row, thats quite a feat. keep up the good work!

Well I am going to give the foxes a rest this weekend, loads of pigeons on the spring crops. Time to bugger up there breeding season with good old uncle shotgun. Should get some crows to . I love the way they flock around their dead budies so you can kill them as well hopefully some ramblers on the foot path will get to see the real side of the country side. All this shooting just to protect the vegertarians crops.

hey u dumbass mother fuckers who think all of this is funny!!! u can all fuckin rot in hell u suns of bitches!!! fuck u all i hope who ever shoots foxes or any animal to be exact can go to jail for this discusting work !!! u all discust me!! u stipid ass fudepackin sun of bitches!!! how would u like to be fuking shot !!! im guessing u wouldnt like it would u these pictures hurt me real bad!!!! u assholes!!! burn in hell !!!!!!

here is plenty of room for all of gods cretures right next to the mashed potatoes & gravey

Ahhh, when will the world finally stop with this unjustice? I don't understand why somebody would kill innocent animals like this, it's so inhumane.

When will you lot wake up to facts. We eat animals, we are top of the food chain thats the way it is & thats the way it will always be. I hunt animals, I shoot them, I skin them, paunch them(take out the inards to you lefties) cook & eat them. They brred fast so we can keep the cycle going. Dont forget animals eat animals too, so does that make them mother f*****king C888nts as well? Get a life you lot of ignorant fools

I like foxes! Don`t kill them!
Foxes are really nice and pretty.:-)
Greetings from Germany!

I just wanted to say that kiley is so damn retarded that it made me laugh for a long long time. It is so much fun to piss off you liberal maniacs. That is half the fun of going out and shooting all these stupid animals and then telling about it. Cause we know that you guys will make a big deal out of it, and no one will care. You do know that no one reads what you are saying except people like me who hate your point of view. You are not changing anyone's mind, you are just making us laugh at your hopeless crusade to save the animals. HAHAHAHA!

Can I shoot you now? It's all the same...a life for a life. In that case you deserve to die a few times over...have fun with your pitiful little excuse for an existance...I hope someone hits you with a bus.
You knew you were going to get beat down for this...but you do it anyway. Only sick fucks kill for no reason.
This message brought to you lovingly by:
Your fat fucking face...happy doomsday!

Well, I'm not really. Have a little respect for life...and you know, I understand that you laugh at those of us who actually give a fuck about animals, but when I see people like you dying, I laugh too. It's fucking hilarious actually! Like this one pic I saw of this guy who got his eyes gouged out and his scalp torn off...man, you could see his brain!!! And all of the blood and singed flesh turned black from lack of oxygen...yeah, I cracked up about that one! People are damned funny when they fall down the stairs, so go find a flight of 'em and have fun! I'll be standing by with a camera to tape it...perhaps sell it on e-bay or jack off to the sound of your cracking bones...
Yeah, all humans are sick...I hate you.

You need therapy (your Mother). Are you the yorkshire rippers mother , Hitler, Stalin?

Oh just for you Svenja I will let the next fox go because you seem nice & polite.

Okay...first of all, let's stop being IMMATURE and start using civil language. Honestly, who has a debate while dropping the F bomb every other word? My views: We need to remember that yes, Frank, animals eat animals. My sister was vegetarian for a short while but got anemia so not everyone can survive without meat (or protein supplements for that matter.) If people hunt in moderation, and keep the balance of the ecosystem, all is fine. But remember, when the earliest humans hunted, they didn't get kills in abundant amounts or every day, so that's what kept the cycle in balance. Personally, I wouldn't hunt because I'm too much of a treehugging-enviromentalist :), and I love foxes especially, but people need to eat-its a fact of life. But one question--are you killing the foxes for food...or for sport?

The foxes are shot to control numbers esp with the problems we get with the poultry, they have no respect for rare breeds, & they will kill all the birds in a pen they do not always kill for food. On tye dairy farm we shoot them when the numbers increase & becombe a problem. We like to have a couple around because they are part of the natural environment. But if the numbers increase to much as they feed of domestic waste, they becombe poor & spread disease and become infested with mites. As they hve no natural preditors they die a miserable death when they becombe infected. So by shooting them & keeping the numbers down, we are quite happy to have a small no of healthy ones around. We do not use pestsides on the crops so rabits & pegions will destroy vast amouts of crops. And as the consumers including vegitarians dont want to pay any moore for their food rabits & pigeons are shot as well. But sometimes no matter how many are shot the next day they seem to be back in just the same numbers as if you havn,t shot any. So it goes on the country side has to be managed as we all need food be it meat or vegtibles.

Thank you for explaining that. It sounds as though you have a legitimate reason. The thing that gets people worked up is the pride others show in killing the animals, and then posting it on the internet. Like it has been said before, people aren't being forced to look at the pictures posted, but this came up on a google search for me, and it was something I didn't particularly want to see. What I definitly don't appreciate is the comments made about the foxes and the amusement you find in upsetting people who wish you hadn't shot them. (Though I believe they have no right in being so extremely rude) Please, I beg you, have some respect for earth's creatures by not posting their mutilated carcasses for all the world to see.
Thank You

WHY ARE YOU KILLING THESE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!.
These were created by God and they have a right to live as much we do and can't you leave them alone and kill other things for food ,please! please! please! (And Frank run under a bus).

you are disgusting and callous
stupid fuckers

Some people just optimize the ignorant of the world, and on this comment list we can see many. I am betting that most posters will have eaten meat/poultry on a regular basis. Do you know how cows are killed? Or how most poultry is kept and bred? Shooting a fox with a .308 (to the head/spine) is about as humane as you could possibly get. The animal will die instantly and feel no pain.
Also, fox populations have risen exponentially due to recent(ish) legislation, and this means that more poultry will be killed. Foxes DO kill for fun, I know this for a fact. A fox will break into a chicken hut and kill all of the chickens without eating them (even when i lived in London!). Fox populations need to be controlled. Dont forget that many hunters always eat their quarry, meaning that the fox does not always die for sport/culling resaons.
One more thing, since many of you silly, silly people are posting on the Internet, I will presume that you are using a computer. A computer and monitor use extreme amounts of electricity (you are contributing to global warming) and the PCB and minerals used in the production of electronics come from the devastation of Brazilian rain forest, in turn killing innocent animals. Every day you buy and use things that result in damage to the environment and death of innocent animals everywhere in the world. OMG you fkcuing wankers using your battrees in your mp3 playerxx, you should all fukcing die for killing innocent creatures!!! LMAO
I'm not a Christian (and I am a lefty, and enjoy shooting as a sport), but i have read the bible, and this is for the person who said that foxes have just as much a right to live as humans because they where created by GOD.
In the bible it says that man is above all creatures (acc to the bible, animals have no souls, and is to with them as he pleases as they are there to facilitate his existence.
Dont spurt your little rants on blogs like this when these people are just trying to enjoy a sport that many people in the whole world love.
