Fox cubs,

[norma 308]

Came across my first pair of fox cubs last night, bit early i thought, anyone else.

a friend said she saw one dead on road which I thought either a small fox or way too early for a cub

Little bit sceptical of cubs above ground at moment .

And why are you skeptical foxdropper, if there not in your area doesn't mean there not in other areas.

I've never had any this early. I wouldn't rule it out though. A good friend of mine, a grouse keeper now retired shot a litter in February. It happened once around 20 years ago. It's never happened since. We cover the same patch and wouldn't expect to see them above ground until at least end of March, even that's early, usually April, May and June are the busiest months for us. Different climate for us up here too, I imagine "darn sarf" things potentially happen sooner than with us, the plants and everything else do.

I’ve dug foxes all over the country and never come across cubs at this time of year able to open their eyes let alone be above ground .I said sceptical which dosnt in fact call anyone a liar ,just dosnt happen to be my findings .Any dated pics or never happened .

Photos from those seeing them now would be good I agree.

Hard to take pics of mine as they went strait into the slurry pit, and thats 6ft deep, but if i get more, pics will be on here.
