[QUOTE="edessex, post: 915224, member: 2972"] Lol, been busy on here today! My goose didn't fly, because it couldn't. The geese I keep are not the flightly type; they can't lift off! Nor can the turkeys. I always try to deter pests first, but its not always possible. CDs hanging, peeing up the coops, etc. I've got a 6ft deer (stock) fence, but its incomplete. However a fox could scale that if it wanted to anyway. Regards to clean dispatch... I won't even take a shot at a rat with my air rifle unless I know its likely to be a clean hit. I am more than happy to use a snare. As long as its placed well, and checked regularly, I deem it as safe ON THIS LAND I.e. away from the public and dogs. However, having never dealt with a fox in close proximity, I'm concerned I'll be too hesitant in pinning it, and will cause it undue distress. The actual throat slitting I have no problem with. I have knife skills, and it is a very quick and effective method of dispatch. The cage will allow me to call in a friend with a shotgun, and hopefully not distress the fox as much. [/QUOTE]
