Urban foxes are a growing problem in the UK, thanks mainly to the misguided townies who feed them.
This one, shot the other day, is a record 38lb 1oz
I shall start paying more attention to the three that wander through my garden every day - I might
have a record breaker.

I wouldn't know about that - Nath is the fox expert on this forum I think.
I don't have any pets or livestock so foxes don't bother me. I don't feed them but I
don't have any urge to shoot them.

Nice to see one without Mange, I've shot a couple of town foxes in Bournemouth, Dorset and they looked pretty moth eaten.
I'm hoping to order a Handi Rifle in .22 Hornet for Foxes, after seeing that one I may stick with the 30/30

I agree, that's a good size coyote.
I know a whole lot about very little and nothing about a whole lot.

I thought foxes where supposed to be wee little things like they show on the Discovery channel. Nice lookin' coat on him though.
... I love poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.
