Over the past couple of nights, Mr Fox has paid a visit twice. Our run is pretty safe with a brick surround and double galvinised mess, but for how long?
I have a gun and it would be safe to let fly at him in the garden. However, can I legally shoot a fox in a rural back garden, if its worrying my hens?
For those techincally minded its a 2.2 live shot and I have killed rabbits with it in the past from over 100 yards very effectively. The hen house is only 90 feet from the kitchen door and a practice shot at a target went clean through a 2in piece of board covered in aluminium plate.
