Vix & Chips


Another lamping session last after feeding the pens. Net result was another young vixen shot in the dairy field.
Another shot was taken again in the same field later into the night which connected with the target but not an out right kill. It looked as though the fox was fatally wounded but unfortunately it got up and moved towards the hedge cover crop, another shot was dispatched which sounded as though it hit. After two drive by's with headlights on and lamp penetrating the undergrowth no body was found. I will have a thorough look for it during day light hours this Saturday. Hopefully it will die quickly.
Stephen and myself made the Worthy Park pen a little more comfortable for the poults last night. We placed some straw under the cover lean to's which hopefully will add some warmth for the poults. Plus two more feed bags were emptied into the bin. Crossed fingers that the weather will improve which should help the young poults out no end.
