- Brian Klein with a second fox
I copied this narrative directly from Brian Klein’s Facebook Page:
“After the excitement of shooting the fox on Thursday night, my enthusiasm was crushed Saturday morning with a phone call stating something got into our pens again and killed another 170 birds. During a stake out last night I stalked this vixen at 2:45 a.m. as she was on another killing spree. I hope that is the last one.”
I have all sorts of emotions around this most recent event. The prevalent feeling is being grateful that we have such a loyal and commited manager in Brian Klein. It’s just incredible that we had TWO foxes invading our farm. Probably someone out there knows that’s the way it works, but I didn’t. Brian was on such a high Friday after the first fox was taken care of. I can’t imagine how he must have felt Saturday morning, getting the call that another 170 birds had been killed. An to think he stayed awake until 2:45 am – and then had the ability to successfully target and shoot the second fox. Thank you Brian!!!

How were they getting into the pens? Digging underneath?
Brian clearly has some skills.
Some how these two figured out how to get in from above. They were picking short perimeter posts to jump onto, walk down the top of divison fences, chew holes and get in. We were finding hair around the holes but we were guessing a cat. After taking a closer look at the canine teeth marks in some of the dead and finding good tracks it was decided it was fox we were after. All has been well for a week now.
