I shot my first CWD a month or so ago and have had the head (attached to the pelt) knocking about with a few others waiting for time to boil them up in a decent batch. I know it isn’t best practice but being short of space and money it has always worked to date.
Last night I heard some foxes calling nearby but thought nothing of it as the land owner of the manor surrounding my house likes them and the tenant farmer wants them to keep the rabbit numbers down.
I woke up to carnage, air dried hides and bits everywhere. The lawn looked like a barber shop floor. The only pelt and head missing was my CWD. We tracked down the pelt by following the shed hairs, but the head was no longer attached. Hours wasted looking this morning.
The foxes are going to be tracked, baited and, now they are causing issues on my land, shot. I only have myself to blame, I need to invest in a freezer.
