attempted break in

[maty j 6]

found this small hole in the chicken pen yesterday night with a strand of ginger fur on. looks like he's tried to dig under hit the wire and then bit the wire and got disturbed. allso looks like its been in the shed there were cat food rapers all over the place. with the fur i was definately thinking fox. nothing was gone so thats good but i reckon it'll be back now it knows were theres chickens. never had any bother before in about 4 and a half years. anyone got any fox snares then??

Not a great photo to give you a idea of the size of the hole mate but i think its a bit small for charlie .But when i had the poultry i had snares and fenns set 24/7 they would be quiet for a period them you would catch something better safe than sorry

this happend in the day so prob got disturbed by a car coming next door or my pup. she went off towards the area but i never thort anything of it at the time, never knew what happend till night when i went to put them in but now perhaps she went to see what it was and it ran away? yeah the hole is too small for a fox to get through so it couldnt get in to take any. i was looking for runs today while i was out walking but couldnt see much, but ive never done fox snaring so dont know.

repair the hole in the fence and walk a few path ways around your fence making a trail then set your wires on these the fox will use the path ways to find the easy way into the pen you can use this to your advantage to catch him in a wire as the fox will be back
