Outofnowhere 93 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've just got a new piece of land and a damn (lamp shy I'm told) fox has started killing the farmers chickens I work away alot and so shooting can only be done at the weekends therefore I am thinking about trapping it. This will give me time to get home and sort it. My options as I see it: a) Borrow one. Is there anyone near Nth Wilts or along the M4 corridor who can lend me a trap for a week or two? build one c) Buy one Building one is possible but given my time constraints probably not practicable but if someone has plans then I can do it in slow time for the future. If I can't borrow one then buying is the next option. Can anyone recommend a supplier? obviously, as its only planned for a one-time effort I dont want to spend a fortune. Can anyone help?

Deker 3,491 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 How are u going to check it if you work away? Valid point. There are loads of traps on the web, but get one a decent size and strong, the fox will do its best to rip it apart to escape, and it WILL need checking at least daily, preferably twice a day.

Outofnowhere 93 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm only about two hours away so can get back if needed. The farmer would check it daily but I take your point. Perhaps setting it for the second half of the week when I'm about might be better. Anyone recommend a good sized strong trap? If I buy it might as well last me. Quote Link to post

Not cheap, but practically indestructible. Quote Link to post
