Live Cage Trapping Foxes Tips

[the night hunter 130]

I for one, can believe 2k foxes per year in some of the urban areas of SE England.

 

I shot 7 foxes in 20 minutes once in Tottenham.......

 

 

mad isnt it??? some of the inner areas we were on 15+ in a night. most of the time if 10 out of 15 traps would be occupied by day break. few times would empty trap and customer would call 1hour later to say there is another!

You shouldent put a fox on top of the trap because if another fox comes in it will be concentrating on the smell of the other foxes blood,which means it wont be concentrating on the bait it game for

South east. Of course they red fox doughnut. Trap was set next to each other as space was tight.

lets face it though any doughnut can catch a urban fox literally any old doughnut you can catch those things on rubbish lets face it you can feed them from your hand like Chris Packham and cubs like in the pic are even easier i mean two cages side by side and they still go in and with the cage bottom showing as well just out of interest how many rural foxes have you caught ? just had a thought leave the gun in the trap and they will shoot them selves as well

when i was working at lords cricket ground there was a pest controller there that had 4 traps set every night and having 3 or 4 every night.

 

and a mate would trap 40 fox's a year out his garden

have the cage trap as large as possible around 6ft is good, bury the bottom of the cage under soil, if its a double entry leave both entries up,even if a single entry, leave them open for a few days baited so the foxes can take the bait with no problems, then after a week or so set the trap to spring when bait gets taken, hope this helps fts

I've seen similar advice several times and always scratch my head when I see it.

If your lucky enough to get a fox into a trap once then catch him. Why would you get him into the trap several times and then decide to trap him ????

Think about it ????

 

think about it...................... how weary can foxes be ? especailly if a new cage item is placed in there territory? theyr very suspicious, so if you leave the trap open it gets used to walking through it taking the bait ect with no problems. if you set the trap straight away the fox in question may try taking the bait and trip the mecanism but not be far enough in to get caught, the door might get shut on its back,and get out, not just that,.......... plus any other foxes in the area will of taken bait but not of been there when the fox was caught so wont know its a trap, and will come back the nect night ect get it, im only an ametuer , but even i know this is the best way!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGREE .................HIS ARGUMENT IS RIGHT, IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE THE BAIT FOR A FEW DAYS ECT ECT ECT !!!!!!!!! were all welcome to our own opinions

I have to say pre baiting works fantastic but when you have a bait shortage its easy just setting it straight away
