As per the title, spotted the first 2 cubs of the year last night and quite suprised at how large they were too! (well over half grown). Unfortunately they were on ground that prevented a safe shot, but now I know they're there.....
Just wondering what the situation is in your part of the country?

Not spotted any cubs yet, but it was around this time last year that we started to see them.
 
A Bristol menber told me he shot a vixen and 2 cubs last week, 3 weeks ago we shot a heavily pregnant vixen so appears big range in cubbing this year.

Def a big range this year Cyres, shot a heavily pregnant vixen myself here about 3 weeks ago. Apart from her and 1 other barron vixen, been all dog foxes for about the last 2 months. Then as I said in my OP these cubs I saw were over half grown.
I'm sure they must have been an exceptionally early litter.

Not seen any Cubs as yet but shot a vixen in milk last week
been out every night this week after a fox that's taking a new born lamb every night
just canot get a safe shot on it to many sheep in the way
 
Got vixen bringing grub in 2 nights ago, waited on with lamp and got dog. Cubs at least 8 to 10 weeks old, shot 2 last night got the others by other means this morning.
