Fox Cubs ?? Seen Many This Spring ??

[Mike from Hereford]

This spring there seems to be alot more fox cubs, is it a directly linked to the ban ?

I don,t think so, not in Herefordshire anyway.

I'd say the numbers are pretty similar to any other years but I have seen an awful lot more dead on the roads this year than I have before, I saw a Hare last week flattened .

I think you will find less foxes in the countryside as farmers etc: will be lamping them with rifles as opposed to keeping a fox or two for the hunt as many farms/shoots do.

A farmer where I go, said he recently had 7 foxes in his lamp beam.Mainly cubs.
