Why shoot foxes?
The British red fox is widespread across the whole of mainland Britain and Ireland. The best estimate of the current British fox population is 240,000 adults in spring, to which a production of 425,000 cubs is added annually. The fox has no natural predator and for the population to remain stable, 425,000 foxes must therefore die each year.
Fox numbers need to be managed and controlled to prevent the predation of lambs, piglets reared outdoors, free range and domestic poultry. Foxes can also have a significant impact on vulnerable species of ground nesting birds such as black grouse, partridge, lapwing and curlew (Bealey, Green, Robson, Taylor & Winspear, 1999).
In order to protect such species while they are breeding, conservators and gamekeepers aim to control fox numbers, particularly from late winter to early summer. Foxes are also controlled around pheasant and partridge rearing and release pens in late summer and autumn. Overall, the direct cost to UK agriculture from fox predation has been estimated at £12 million annually (UK Government figures)

The only thing hanging from the cord around my neck is a Mora knife, but I'd like to add a couple of the gizmos you've got. Thanks for the knowledge, Old Boy!

[@threeoeightwadcutter2820]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Didn't know the Hand call method yet

[@noelcashman334]

one of my best callers was a small glass bottle and a piece of styrofoam. Dampen the glass and rub the styrofoam along the glass

[@HeiderSati]

Great video, thanks for your time to make it

I had great success with the 'best foxcaller' last night. Got a young vixen within 40 metres.

[@danielohara334]

Very interesting video. Good job gents

[@GdaySport]

Gonna try a smoke alarm tomorrow night lol!

[@YaoiMastah]

I usually carry a couple of crow calls along with the fox calls. Nothing tickles a fox' curiousity than after hearing a distressed hare, hearing a couple of crows discussing dinner.

[@hanspetterhy840]

I will try this

[@MargotDemi]

Thanks! I used these to get them in my garden & feed them some cat food

Nice calling knowledge, I wish I still had fox in my calling/hunting area. Coyotes have run them out of my area the last 20 years. The last fox I harvested was about 15 years ago.
