    No land pretty wet and soft over a wide area a lot of the rushes were cut this year in the fields

    Fox's love slugs. So the damp land would attract them.

    Absolutely even looking through the thermals you can see Snipe hares sitting out in the fields and woodcock and the foxes ignore them for the slugs

    Is it in the field where the rushes were cut that the Fox's are in.

    That's interesting. You would think that the slugs would be in the drier warmer fields. There is a field near me too that is low. Great field for a fox on a damp mild night. Slugs must be cold blooded animals. Fox won't even look at a light or come to a caller when slugs are on the menu.

    Is it now during the winter that they are in this field or is it all year round.
