Why can't you just shoot them surely it's a better way of doing things, I mean in America the track animals quite far and mostly focus on clean kills and I far as I know British hunting culture albeit limited at least when it comes to hunting geese/ fowl there seems to be some sportsmanship unless you are a toff where the birds are driven towards ya seems to me like people who engage in traditional fox hunting just kinda suck at hunting
@user-tl7py4hv6x This is the ultimate form of hunting. Man and dog, as it should be. Unlike with guns, where there is always the risk of wounding an animal, with a dog it's either caught and dispatched, or animal gets away unharmed.
@@NOVOLITION It actually happens very quickly. From catch, to kill, happens within seconds. Far more quickly, than a cat kills a mouse or song bird. It's strange what we see as acceptable, and what is not.
i need to know why cant they hunt like wolves? they dont seem to go for the jugular ?? they bite rather amatuerishly and it takes forever? is it something to do with being domesticated and they are not taught by the pack how to hunt well?? Its always looked rather clumsy and inelegant. i thought maybe its to do with them being scent hounds not sight hounds??? But animal on animal predation in the wild just looks so much more .. well they get the throat.. usually first off its amazing .. the dogs just fall over a lot lol .. i guess they are bred to find scent over miles i dunno .. i guess we made them dumb .. but they dont hunt as well as the wolf
@silverkitty2503 wolves,lions, hyaena, wild dogs all tend to hunt in packs and there's nothing elegant about it when they catch their prey, most start eating it before it is dead

@@silverkitty2503 probably because wolves are usually hunting herbivores, here it’s another carnivore with really sharp teeth so they probably stay away from the bitey end & grab somewhere safer & shake the fox to kill it rather than get severely bitten. You see this a lot with animals & birds that eat snakes for example where they beat them up & incapacitate them before going for the kill.
Are foxes that much of a pest, there? And how do you get the foxes to break cover in the day, if you have time to explain more about this. Just interested. 😊
Each to there own , why comment on another man's hunting tactic with smart remark . I shoot as well and with a 243 a monkey can kill a fox its not hard . Using rifles that take down deer makes a messbof them why don't you drop down to 22 or 222 ? Means you might have to actually get out and walk about instead of just shooting from where you see it !
I could have sworn it was illegal. I was in Parliament Square in September 2004. The day it was banned, getting whacked over the head by plod. Fair play boys, I only used mine on rabbits. Long dead now. Keep the faith.
Pretty sure this was in Ireland, so the current travesty of UK law in respect of the various hunting/ shooting bans (brought in to appease a vocal minority with zero real world experience of the countryside) doesn’t apply there. And if it does then maybe the Garda recognise that they have far more important things (murders, rapes, drugs, child abuse, domestic violence, fraud & burglary etc.) to spend their time on rather than enforcing such nonsense. One day maybe the UK police will remember what they are actually paid to do as well, but I won’t hold my breath….
You're just a wee uneducated prick . First of all to make a statement like that is just stupid and bitter . Am not a gypsy for one , not that there is anything wrong which travelling people . Crawl back under your rock you smelly wee ball bag
@@NOVOLITION You seem very offended over someone protecting smaller animals from foxes. Remember this, furries dont even know how foxes behave. They are predators. They kill almost any other small animal.
Ive got nothing against fox hunting, but doesnt killing foxes just give room for more rodent species on and around farm land which is more financially damaging to people living around the farm land than a fox?
And if I told you foxes are bigger vermin and do more damage to farmers lively hood . 10 rabbits a day would eat as much as one sheep , 5 rats eat as much as one bird but 1 fox kills live stock atleast 1 or 2 times a week , chicken, lamb , turkey , ducks , pheasant , deer fawns , small bird , game birds , hedgehogs , farm cats . Which one is more costly ? Which one is more cost effective to control ? By controlling 1 fox am saving farmers lively hood and the wild life population I should get a medal do you not think ?
@@foxhunter3439 yeah obviously a fox is capable of killing poultry like chickens and ducks and small livestock like lambs when they are fresh out the womb, however losing poultry and livestock can be mitigated by having a LSG dog with the livestock. Yeah you raise a good point about the rabbits and mice eating less and individually being less of a problem, however one fox maintains large populations of rodents (thousands of mice and hundreds of rabbits). They also have massive effects on the behaviour of their prey, reducing their feeding time and increasing the time they spend looking for predators. So my question to you is, isnt it more cost efficient to protect the livestock with one dog, than to remove an apex predator from the system and attempt to manage the prey species it controls manually, or to not manage them at all and see the knock on effects of removing the foundation of the system later on?
Nice mate
Well done guys
Amazing to see this footage in the day, great job getting it, that fox at 00:36 was flying.
Great job 👏 miss my old bull xs
I'd love to come do this with you iv got a bull greyhound 3 years old love doing all this type of stuff I mainly go on a night

Good running ! Nice to see the dogs out.
Well done dogs hundreds of chickens saved.
Pest control how it should be done.

Is not illegal to hunt with dog's foxes and hare coursing

@@foxhunter3439 rabbits, mice and rats
