Good for the fox! Its just cruel if its not killed humanly, and now it sounds like its going to suffer a long painful death.... the hunters had a taste of his own medicine IMO!

I have time to comment on this now, I do feel for the Fox, it would of been easier if the hunter was able to shoot the Fox and dispatch it straight out if the Fox needed to be shot, but I don't feel for the hunter, as if you use guns being shot is a risk you take IMO, you just have to try and minimise it, and in this case IMHO he didn't at all, BD I do feel for the person you know though, I can't imagine how it would feel to shot your own dog.
