Will make sure my sprinting legs are at the ready tomorrow morning. I find a quick squirt with water works great for chasing dogs (not sure about foxes though), the shock of the water to the face slows them momentarily allowing an easier getaway

Done, though I didn't mention it being a zombie.moosterbounce wrote:Unlike me to get back OT - apologies - but has this been reported to rangers? Foxes don't belong here and if getting this aggressive, it could be nasty...especially if it is a zombie fox.

Same feeling mid winter in the dark and something "large" rustles in the bushes, feels like a sign is needed:446006 wrote:for whatever reason i hope its just animals in the bushes. lately in the evenings i would generally get spooked by some ruffling all of a sudden passing some bushes. felt like someone was going to jump out and deck me and rob me or even worse some nut decides to jump infront of me.

Very much along my lines of initial thought. I thought OP had to be prey somehow.outnabike wrote:People go cycling in rabbit slippers and wonder why fox's chase e'm..
If you really want to up your cardio workout - do a few laps of the Cannington Greyhound track in the same slippers.
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

Spotted a couple of foxes along the coast around Scarborough in the past.

I sent a follow up email to City of Stirling yesterday and was told mine was the third report but the reserve actually belongs to Main Roads so they had passed it on to them and " [name], their Environmental Officer, and he will be taking immediate action"nachoman wrote:A work colleague reported they were chased pretty good this morning. Another work colleague reported it again to the council today, they were told to call Dept of Parks and Wildlife instead, they were then told to contact Dept of Agriculture who seemed to be aware of the problem.
