Fox trap

[darrren 414]

Well basically i think £99 is a bit hefty to pay for a trap right now,especially with the credit crunch going on. Just wondering what sort of materials i need to put a fox trap/larsen trap together and a quick description of how its done, i know some of you know how to do it lol. Thanks in return it will be MUCH appreciated, and gives me somthing to do this weekend

What Stubby said I bought a copy of JB and it's not just got fox trap plans but tons of other traps as well Well worth the few bob and a great guy too.

have you ever caught using any of his designs?

[Guest JohnGalway]

Not built any fox trap, but I'm building his Larsen this week as I won't be working (that's if the man-flu hasn't killed me by then).

[stubby 175]

yup, built this, and caught quite a few in it too

Thanks for the plugs lads . There's no specific plan for a Fox Trap in the book although there is a larsen one and a whole chapter on mesh traps principles -( bending mesh, triggers, door oprions etc).

 

However Higgins is quite right - there are at least two excellent posts on here from Woodga covering this

 

Fox Trap

Wire Mesh Larsen

 

Plus another one on squirrel cages.

 

There also a discussion thread somewhere on which type of door people favour and lets not forget the fox trap Leepy1 made from office furniture; an inspired idea.

I remember that, I wonder how it weathered, do you know if it caught anything John?
