These may seem some stupid questions but im a complete novice at fox snaring. how do i spot a used run? ho whigh do i set the snare etc etc sorry if its been asked before

[Smudge 0]

A fox run can be anything jordan. Tram lines in feilds, paths, flattened grass anything. Just remeber that they are lazy Set snare at about 9 to 10 inches with i big loop. Someone else will tell you the dimensions. I carn't remember.

Smudge is right mate.Any paths, rides, deer paths,gaps in fences,gateways,,field edges,hare runs,literaly anywhere.I set my snares between 10-11 inches high with a large 10-11 inch loop.Look for tight spots on the runs where theres some longer grass,bramble,saplings,nettles to allow your snare to really blend in.

Spray your snares green for camoflage.Set em using 3mm galvey wire as your tieler and eletricians tape to fix the snare to the tieler.

I use mainly drags on my snares so the runs stay untouched enabeling me to reset the run.

well the fields have been cut so ill keep an eye out and see what i can find cheers for the advice

[Jordan 1]

ok one more question. how can i tell wether a run through a hedge is fox or badger?

[pegandgun 52]

both badgers and foxes use the same runs.Keep the wires high 10-11" and you will not snare the billies mate.

Ye could try sitting out as it gets dark and watch what comes and goes [bANNED TEXT],i see a lot of my foxes moochin out just as its gettin dark,especially if there aint many people doin em,which there aint round my way

 

Look for hair on the fences as well,that will tell ye if there are foxes or other stuff using the runs.

 

Best of luck with it [bANNED TEXT],and get some decent snares off one of the lads on here,im sure one of the old timers will sell ye some :11:
