A Feckin Fox Foot Fetishist!
I cooked a chicken last night and for the first time put the carcass in the rubbish bin instead of leaving it out for the foxes and magpies, this was my punishment, the poor thing must have been really hungry after being attracted by the smell from the bin, he ate the leather tongue but had to chew through the webbing strap to do so and they are incredibly strong.
I have left both the carcass and the other shoe out tonight to see what he prefers!

Does anyone know where I can find some Vegan safety boots on a Sunday?  |

Every last scrap of the carcass, bones, skin pieces etc have already gone, shoe is still there waiting for the second sitting, could it be a vixen with a litter at this time of year?

I used to live in a place with river frontage and so had an infestation of the dreaded coypu (ragondin?). I was trapping them on a fairly regular basis and after despatching them I would carry them into the woods and leave them, always at the same spot, and the fox would have taken it away by the next morning. Some of them would have been a chore for a fox to take away, they were so huge. An equitable arrangement. They get an easy meal and they left my chickens alone.

Our relationship could be on the rocks, he/she/they had a good feed of chicken last night but still decided to thank me by biting through the string line I am using to set out the posts on a long length of fencing, its the 3rd time it has happened.
I am a perfectionist and working very slowly I had got this line of really heavy 8' concrete posts absolutely spot on, then while admiring my work as the sun set I realised that the string when it snapped had popped off a peg that was spacing it 3" from a shed (timber post) and was now out by 1" after I had retied and tensioned it.
Nobody but myself would ever notice a change of 1" over a 70" length of fencing without removing one panel to sight along the posts as had done but I am kicking myself for spending so much time for reasons of pride, the house will be sold so I get no benefit, I also ignored one of my own rules - "Better to be imprecisely right than precisely wrong"

I believe it was not a fox doing the shoe chew, but a badger. I have had many rubber gloves, leather straps and other stuff chewed through and carried off into the field by badgers

I have had many rubber gloves, leather straps and other stuff chewed through and carried off into the field by badgers My neighbour saw a large fox crossing his garden that morning from the direction of mine, not conclusive as he may not know his fox from his badger .
I am in the UK where I live in a very urban area, the foxes are well established living in the gardens of the larger houses, one was burrowing under my chalet and shed to make its den during my long absences, they walk around the streets and footpaths completely insouciant as if they own them.
Farmland is not far and there could well be badgers there but they would have to pass through many gardens and cross several roads to get to mine.
