bunnyspotter 43 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 With all the snow and plenty of charlie prints around the farm, i thought it would be wise to start baiting up an area..

Whos had any succes with this method and what were your average succes times of day/evening ????? Quote Link to post

Whos had any succes with this method and what were your average succes times of day/evening ????? best baiting we did was a year or 2 ago when we had a goose killing fox coming in. left a chicken carcass out for him, with 110yds fishing line attached, thru kitchen window and into sitting room. OH sat there all evening with it tied to his finger .......then about 11pm he felt a "bite".....went to kitchen window and there was charlie trying to drag away the pegged chook........lead injection followed thru kitchen window!

Deker 3,478 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Baiting almost always works. Choose your spot and the time, commonly mid/late evening, depends on time of year, location, etc. Rabbits often work but then so to does a bowl of dog food, and this gives you time for the shot while he eats it rather than picking up the quarry and running off with it. They can also be trained to turn up at quite specific times! Quote Link to post
