FAGAN 5 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Dont want to piss on your fire matey but i wouldnt build your hopes up if i were you. Personally i think the drain is too short and they dont seem to like using single entrance artificials much, they would rather prefer double or treble enders. Also, the plastic thing is a no no IMHo. i could be wrong, but when i was young i did the same thing. those three artificials are still there but i have never ever had a fox in them, and thats after ten years!!! I admire your commitment, but i thought i better be honest to stop you wasting loads of energy like i did. I hope i am wrong though as you put the effort in. good hunting. JD there will be more entrances soon its just a start i got a plastic one down at the moment and ive had a few guests in there and as for young im prob 10 years older than you Got one on my ground 6 entrances and 2 bedding areas take several foxes out of it through the season the pipes are also plastic, do not make the earth to small, bigger the better :thumbs-up: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

highlander 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Get the chainsaw and cut the bottom off the plastic pipe and brace the pipe now and again to stop it from closing in. Saves having to try and get earth in the pipe. Regards highlander Quote Link to post Share on other sites
