Thanks again guys.

I'm in the same village as you Jiskra :)

I think I'll put off hunting till I've leveled my marksman a bit more.

I've killed my first fox with mm 10 and a q13 sling. I've spend appr. 8 minutes for this action. the problem I've got was, that the fox ran away after it has low hp. luckyli it was on a small isle so that it could get far away. how could i get foxes & other animals to not run away when dying?

As was discussed in this thread, surround them with signposts near the edge of water to prevent them from moving. You'll want to be in a boat or a safe distance into some shallow water though. They'll only break objects when trying to path to you, not just anything and everything around them.

This. ^

I might add : fox will not break signposts, except when they come in your direction to attack you. That is why you use the river shore if you have a river. If there is no river avalaible, you can trap them in a roundpole fence and they will not be able to break it, even when attacking.
