Fox Control

Removal of foxes by the method of trapping then once the land has been cleared for F.A.C then the method of shooting You can shoot free foxes using a suitable firearm and ammunition. You shouldn’t use firearms in urban areas for reasons of public safety. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation has a code of practice on shooting foxes at night(night vision ie inferred or lamping). The most effective fox control is achieved during late winter and spring. At this time foxes are less mobile as they are rearing young and food demands are high. At other times there are more young animals to move into vacated territories.
