Fox hunting with a dog was conducted in the past, rarely before the skin became valid (when the fox is fully furred). That time normally occurs around the latter half of November / beginning of December, when the skins are the most beautiful and paid for the best. Today, fox skins are difficult to sell and provide poor profits, but the fox is still a coveted game. To some extent due to the impact it makes on the remaining small game strains and that it is a fascinating and beautiful creature. In the current situation, the fox is hunted with different hunting methods such as watch hunting, decoy hunting and fox hunting with a dog from the beginning of August to the middle of April.
The Dogs
Fox hunting with a dog is conducted with 2 different types of dogs in particular. One type of dog is the driving force that chases the fox with its shell. The task shooter's task is to try to shoot the fox on the train. The other type of dog used is the pot dog. The task of the pothole dog is to seek out the fox in the potty and try to irritate it so much that the fox leaves the potty, even there the pass shooter's task is to have time to shoot when the fox leaves the place.
The crew
A fox hunting crew consists of a duster and a pot dog. Both of these dog types are normally absolutely crucial to get an effective fox hunt with a dog. As the fox often walks or is already in the cauldron when the duster follows the night run, the cauldron dog is often needed already at an early stage of the hunt. Otherwise, many foxes have a tendency to go into the pot after the duster has drifted for a while. In general, I would like to say that inland, about 9/10 foxes are shot during pot hunting and the equivalent of 1/10 on gears. So both types of dogs are necessary to get a working and efficient fox hunt. Bearskin.se and bearskin's youtube channel have several in-depth articles and videos about fox hunting with a dog and what can be good to think about.
