Fox Photos Needed!

[Paddy_SP]

Some of you may know that for some time I've been compiling a book on hunting foxes with a rifle. As part of this exercise, I needed lots of good photos. Unfortunately, someone seems to have shot most of them around here, so although I have thousands of images of foxes with bullet holes in, I have very few indeed of live ones...

Here's the problem - although I may get some royalties for the book at some point in the future, I'm not getting paid anything up front. Instead, I'll be getting a pile of free books. Consequently, I can't afford to go buying the photos from any of the usual image suppliers.

I therefore either need to find someone in the south-west with a tame/captive fox so that I can go and take the photos myself, or I need to obtain some images from other people. Or preferably both...

The photos need to be of publishable quality - clear, crisp, and of a high enough resolution to be 'use-able'. In return, I'm willing to give a free signed copy of my book to anyone who provides me with a photo that gets used, and also credit them with its supply. I hope it goes without saying that anyone who is kind enough to help out must own the rights to the image, or have permission to use it.

So - whatcha got?

I have some of the 'Kennick' fox that frequented the reservoir near Christow in Devon but i doubt they will be of publication quality, less than 5 meg.
I will try and find one if you drop me a pm with your email addy.
Cheers

Use these if they're any good.
I'll take some of a heavily pregnant vixen and the dog over the weekend if she hasnt dropped by then.

Got 5 or 6 coming into a feeding station on ground they dont want em shot and the mrs is quite taken with them (she still holds the lamp on them on the estate though where there's no mercy )

I spent a day on a photoshoot of which part of it was foxes. I may have one or two that you may fine useful. Trying to remember if they are already online. Well I can dig them out anyway and you can have a look see if any are of use.

Unfortunately, it seems she is anti-hunting...

It looks as though that was a good night out - for you, at least!

The usual predictable response from someone who hasn't read the post. I'm surprised that you joined in on this Hubert as that's unworthy of your intellect. Maybe just tongue in cheek?

I'm glad to see that so many people on here have offered constructive help. As he makes clear, the OP doesn't need images of the slain. He has plenty of his own, but there's always someone who needs an outlet. Is it any wonder the wider world finds picture of blown-up carcasses so disgusting, and the people who pose and post so weird?

I'd like to plead for someone with the skill, and a lower level of testosterone to genuinely help in this task by capturing some usable images of an incredibly elusive animal in the wild. Pulling a trigger is very easy, as is taking an arranged pic. of the corpse. Why some do this at all eludes me, but then so does the way some use the gallery feature on this site to impress or boast of their prowess.

Aye ! It was an example to show that all large calibre rifles with a sensible projectile do not spread the victim all over the countryside.
Perhaps the one below of a `sleekit wee beastie` is more to your liking Sir.
