Well, there are several reasons:

1. It is a great hunting experience shooting a Fox (small, quick, smart) with a rifle. Much more difficult than to shoot a wild boar or deer.

2. The Fur is not only a trophy, but also welcome with my wife and suitable for many purposes.

3. In only wood hunting grounds the Fox normally is useful, but if population increased, they become ill with scabies, so it's better to shoot some in time.

It's always important to held the balance. In the region where the pictures are taken, they shoot Foxes only once or twice a year on about 3000 ha.

BTW, in former times the Fox was shot for food. It was a quite desired delicacy on the Courts. Times and taste have changed! cool
