Offroad Gary Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Had a first the other day, a sleeping fox. Taken at 16.00hrs on sunday, has anyone else had a daytime sleeper? Positioned as not to offend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisserge Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Have seen a few on the small gorse mounds having a doze. There is a popular spot we walk in to on the estate that is a guarantee every time. You see them under the lamp sleeping at nights there too.....

trucraft Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Never shot a fox sleeping but seen a few fast asleep out in the open or by a hedge in the daytime. Couple of years ago when stalking with my buddy I nearly stepped on a vixen rolled up against a spruce stump. We both stood less than 2m away watching to see if it was breathing.

weejohn Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I have only shot 1 which was earlier on this year. Also shot 3 since then curled up sleeping using night vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furyan Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I had one a few years back It was curled up at night time in stubble 120yds , hit it with 87Vmax and i though i had missed as it never moved. Turned it over to see the exit of Dartford tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 On a windy sunny afternoon I came across 4 sleeping foxes across a valley. They had come together possibly because of the wind sheltered sunny spot. I shot the four and a fifth came walking up the valley to sniff one of the shot fox...that was No.5 . Not bad for a sunny afternoon in less than 5 min. I didn't go over to see if they were all full sized but they looked like it. Shot plenty single sleeping fox in the past. Keep a look out for sunny wind sheltered areas. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
