    Country Foxes are alot more wary of cages than there town friends, i disguise mine as best i can , make it look like a run through, as for bait, go to the local fish monger, ask him for a bag of scraps (heads etc) tie a knot in the top of the bag, then punch holes in it, then half bury it placing your trap over it with bait behind the plate obviously, i'd be very surprised if he wasn't in there within 48 hrs.

    Yes mate it acts as an attractant to other mink in the area, and believe me this stuff stinks! had good success with it in the past which is why i have ordered a load of it, as for territorial or mating, i presume it would act for both depending on the time of year. Foxy

    Hi folks, I'm importing a few boxes of Mink Gland lure from the states, will have some surplus so offering it for sale also and if there is enough interest from you trappers i may make something more permanent. Will come in 1oz bottles £9.99 inc postage in the UK (for one bottle) Please PM if interested Regards Foxy

    i have trapped hundreds over the years around this area for 30 yrs. all different types , cotton mink, saphires, silvers, pure white, black , dark and light brown, creamies, brown and whites, bluish greys . the whole shabang. I'm going through a dry spell at the moment, no catches in three months now. Foxy

    Nets are for quiters!! lol joking mate, i do use nets, only use bolt traps when i either run out, or on holes that are hard to net or reach, such as on the other side od a hedge or wall if im working alone etc, there a good wee tool. Foxy

    Hi MT, a mate knocked them up for me, not sure what gauge they are to be honest, ill try find out though, heavy is good in my book mate as without proper solid ends on them (as in the end that goes into the burrow) anything light will just warp and disfigure when pushed into the hole impeding the trap door. Foxy

    as its used while ferreting, you'd simply pick it up and remove the ferret it has a one way trap door, you cant see that in the picture as its in the rabbit hole, so in answer to your question, no If you look closely at the picture you can see the door of the trap just as it goes into the burrow. Cheers Foxy

    no thanks bud, if i get another shortly you can have it. Foxy

    Pretty much exactly what it is! its a bolt trap with a one way door, used while ferreting, rabbits bolt into it, cant get out. Foxy

    Hi stephen, not sure what you mean re-set? the trap is fired? can see how it looks with the top bar but this is just from the angle i took the photo from, the trap fits snug into that tunnel and the spring gap is two inches wide, again its just the angle of the photo that might make it look smaller Foxy picture looks snide to me snide? care to elaborate?
