Went out last night with the lamp & terriers to give them a run & saw the biggest dog fox I think I've ever seen.
Are they getting bigger?
Is the availability of more rabbits & well intentioned home owners putting out food improving their diet to the point they are growing much larger?
This one was about the size of a collie.
Woody gave chase but his little legs couldn't keep up.

Also on the subject.
When talking to an ex poacher turned pest controller a while ago he was keen to trap foxes as he claimed the pelts are worth money again.
I thought the fur trade was all but dead.
China?

There are some whoppers about. As soon as I bag a truly enormous one, I shall call the press as a way of generating a bit of free publicity.

Failing that, a donkey, a feather boa for the brush, and a couple of cans of spray paint should do the trick.

It should fool most reporters, I would have thought.

You could paint a stuffed polar bear red and stick a wooden broom up it's bum, that'd fool most reporters!

As you can tell, I hold the fourth estate in high regard... NOT!
