Best live bait for fox trap?

[Guest Countryboyo]

Hi lads howre ye getting on! fox has killed a few of my hens and rabbits. I spotted a fox trap in a hunt shop and it has a small compartment for live bait. I was wondering what is the best live bait for me to use to catch the fox? and is live bait better than dead bait?

I don't think I am wrong in saying that it is illegal to use a live bait for foxes in UK or Eire

because of the stress caused you cant use live bait, just hang a dead rabbit from it

Oh my god typical. I never get these ridiculous answers off Irish people. ye must be under constant supervision and surveilance in the uk. no wonder hunting was banned there.

It is not a ridiculous answer it is law. Fact

Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981

 

Section 11 (1) Subject to the Provisions of this Part, if any person-

(a )

(b )

(c ) Uses as a decoy, for the purpose of killing or taking and wild animal, any live mammal or bird whatever,

 

he shall be guilty of an offence.

 

 

Obviously this wouldn't relate to Eire, but there may be something similar

 

And before anyone flags up the Larsen Trap contradiction, that's a exception to the law granted under the General Licence.
