Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.

If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Anyone considered to be a scammer will be banned without warning.

Fox colour

#1 Post by Dave 101 »

You may remember a couple of years ago I saw foxes which were very grey looking rather than red , this morning at 6am I saw this one cross the garden , I just had time grab a camera and snap this shot before it went up the side of the shed . At first I thought it was a large tortoiseshell cat because of the different colours , but no a vixen more red at the front grey at the back with black patches .

Hi Dave, nice photo mate. We have a vixen and a dog fox living on our property, She is almost a light grey all over with black fur at the back and on the bottom of her legs and feet like boots. When I first saw her I thought she was a coyote until I got a really good look at her and saw she was a fox. They don't half come in some beautiful colours. The fur on the dog fox is a dark red to chesnut colour and he also has the black boots, he's a really a fine specimen.

I leave them alone and let them live on the property but if they start becoming a nuisance, well we'll see.
