Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 That first shot just completely f*cks the head up. It's just incomprehensable. I mean; How many f*cking foxes must ye have over there, if That Many can be got at?! It's just mind boggling! Quote Link to post
NightRunner 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 This is the start of laying them out, Richard Askins was there also. His family owns Sleepy Creek Traps. Here's some other long liners. I would say between them all there 30k fox over the years. But as I have said Lure and traps play 10% of a haul like that. Back in 1968 I think, Marvin Bud Hall bet a guy by the name of John K Smith both from Iowa who could catch the most fox. John K Smith ended up with 1116 fox. That record stood until last year when another guy in that group broke it by 1 fox. Iron Phil has had a few seasons of 1000 fox but was motivated to break that record ending up with 1202. I don't think that record will ever be reached again. I hope you have enjoyed this. Quote Link to post

NightRunner 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 He's in the best fox counrty in the US, I would guess 200-250 miles a day driving. You also have to remember that he can drive right up to his sets. Quote Link to post

NightRunner 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Your setting traps and then moving them to new locations, then back rotating them once the migration stars and the begin to pair up. Gps is one way to remember but marking maps is another. Quote Link to post
