Unfortunately, by the time you've switched out the rabbit/pigeon shot for the buckshot the fox will have fucked off. That was really my point. Getting within clear shotgun range of a fox is sufficiently unlikely that it's not worth going around with suitable shot already loaded. Culling foxes is something you need to go about in a very focussed systematic way AFAIK.
I don't know. I wouldn't really defend fox hunting as a pest control method other than by saying, "if people want to spend their own time and money controlling pests in an inefficient way let them get on with it. " My issue with the ban was really that the arguments against hunting weren't clear or specific enough.
