I need some advice on snaring foxes as I havent had much luck lately. I use a 9 inch snare loop, set at around 9 inches off the ground, and placed in what I believe to be fox tracks. I also place these snares on fences that seem to have a trail going from one paddock to the next and I have also placed them at what I believe to be the entrances of fox dens. But as I said earlier, I`m not having much luck snaring me a fox. What can I be doing wrong? Would it maybe be an idea to use some kind of bait to encourage them over? If so, what would you suggest?

Sounds like your doing things right BC apart from trying to snare them at the entrances to their dens,don't do it.My tutor G.S.Waters says use a 10" loop,10" high so you aint that far off at that.Keep trying,you'll get there in the end,just don't give up,ask Woodga,he seems to be the top trapper/snarer on here. :good:
