30 odd years ago I was shown to turn the spade around and pin them against the side with the handle,then scruff them,slide them out and grab their back legs or tail,you can have a few problems if there's more than one in the hole though,but it does teach you some respect for the fox as you definitely don't get bitten twice,it also makes you realise the bravery of your terrier,atb,wirralman
thats the way i was taught to do it,or let the fox get hold of the handle and gently pin it by the lower jaw then you can do what you want with them.
