How to Set Live Fox Trap

[Johnny85 50]

I am trying to catch a fox for a farmer by his sheep. I have just bought a cage trap. Any advice how to, where to, bait to use etc would be great please.

First i would find a nice run and set around there. Try to set it back into some bushes or whatever is around to disguise it. Most important i would say was to cover the floor with earth so it is not walking straight onto the mesh floor, i think this is the reason for these things not working to well. Anything like a rabbit or maybe pigeon cut open to let the smell of the guts circle around and hope for the best

At this time of year, and in view of the circumstances, rub the trap over well with anything 'lamby' you can find - stillborns or afterbirth is what he will be looking for so they would make the ideal, if distasteful, bait for the trap.

 

Don't leave the trap in the public eye, a site with the trap side against a sheep fence will prevent him circling the trap and good luck - they are hard to catch in cages at the best of times, and with such rich food pickings abounding then you will have you work cut out, but it is possible!!
