I shot another two last night both vixens which seemed a bit strange to me
Yes I remember a few years ago I was on the telephone one evening, when I heard this "eerie bloody noise" and thought what on earth is my wife watching on television in the other room. When she came back into the room I asked her what she was watching. She said nothing, she was in the bath but she had heard it too.Someone must be being murdered go out and check , so out I went with a torch but could find nothing.
That weekend I was talking to my neighbour when he said I found a dead fox in my garden yesterday i do not know how it got there but I put it on the compost heap. I said I bet I know what happened. There are two packs of foxes that come into the gardens at night one from my side she has cubs with her and one vixen with her cubs and a dog fox from your side and I bet one of the cubs from my side was in yur garden when along came the dog fox from your side and caught it there so killed it.
He said, do they do that sort of thing and I said yes when there are territorial rights and food about and a cub from another vixen the dog fox will kill it as he thinks it is his patch. So that explaind our "murder" screams.

I think its a beautiful sound
For the last week I had what I thought was a vixen with 2x dogs in attendance almost always in one particular field
Anyway shot the vixen and loh and behold another pair in same field. Saw them 3 days ago and tonight after an hour of cat and mouse shot a big dog.
They spent ages chasing each other around 3 adjacent fields with thick hedges and I just got lucky. He was a big fox in super condition so the vixen to get before lambing gets underway.

They're definitely pairing up now getting ready for the peak mating time in late January to mid-February. Round here foxes are appearing at all times of the day, odd behaviour that will carry on for another four weeks.

The first fox that come into the caller last night took me by surprise i had just turned the caller on and it came in like a train straight at it
i turned the caller off quickly just as the fox got to it which i think through it it ran round the caller and headed back into a bit of cover
i could see it with the thermal but couldn't shoot it after about five minutes it slipped out keeping low and vanished into heavier cover never to return
