Roy's foxes from a hot tin roof

When foxes killed the second of his muntjac fawns, Roy Lupton got mad. Tonight he is out to shoot the marauders from the roof of a nearby building. And it's a successful night.

Why shoot foxes?
The British red fox is widespread across the whole of mainland Britain and Ireland. The best estimate of the current British fox population is 240,000 adults in spring, to which a production of 425,000 cubs is added annually. The fox has no natural predator and for the population to remain stable, 425,000 foxes must therefore die each year.
Fox numbers need to be managed and controlled to prevent the predation of lambs, piglets reared outdoors, free range and domestic poultry. Foxes can also have a significant impact on vulnerable species of ground nesting birds such as black grouse, partridge, lapwing and curlew (Bealey, Green, Robson, Taylor & Winspear, 1999).
In order to protect such species while they are breeding, conservators and gamekeepers aim to control fox numbers, particularly from late winter to early summer. Foxes are also controlled around pheasant and partridge rearing and release pens in late summer and autumn. Overall, the direct cost to UK agriculture from fox predation has been estimated at £12 million annually (UK Government figures)

In my part of Kent we have had a massive rise in fox numbers we are now in double figures

[@teacheng3795]

Does that mean you have eleven foxes?

[@nissan300bhp]

good video , thanks,. just 1 question, i didint think it was legal to shoot that close to a main highway/road!

[@fieldsportstv]

Thanks for this. The rules in the UK say that you can't, 'discharge any firearm or firework within 50 feet of the centre of such a highway, and in consequence a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered'. / Charlie
