Venum 10 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 As stated before trailcam, which isnt the cheapest option but in my opinion the better bet. Once you have a trailcam and look after it, its an investment and will help solve more mysterys in the future and help with reccie/confirmation on your next line. I dont know how experienced you are so maybe snaring a fox isnt such a good idea :/ We all have to start somewhere but it is a big deal compared to a few rabbit Could use different wires as in opt for a steel or you could turn up the ground so its loose in channeled areas near by, so you can check if you get any tracks (paws or trainers...) All the best mate, Venum Quote Link to post
Rabbit Killer12 5 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Whois it work if I made the ground wet with a hosepipe or summon on soil an see the tracks Quote Link to post
micky 3,325 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 its a fox that damaged your snares so forget all about trail cams hose pipes and SUMMON ON SOIL ? and learn to snare correctly Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 22,844 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 He had got a need foxes messing with his snare line not really a need is it. telling some one with no experience of fox control to chuck a fox snare down compromises animal welfare for starters. What would the lad do if he finds a vixen in milk in his snare? Snares are a tool to be used by people who know what they are doing as part of necessary fox control, telling a young kid to but one down without instruction and guidance puts everyones right to use snares at risk. 5 Quote Link to post

There is a few posts on here about fox snaring if you can get a DVD by Glenn waters on fox snaring that will help you out,but before you set a fox think about how you will dispatch if ones alive,I don't know if you own a gun as I don't know you Quote Link to post
Rabbit Killer12 5 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yep we have air guns and my dad has 2 12bore shot guns that should be enough Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 could be a badger, so be careful setting fox snares, could land you in trouble. I was checking my rabbit snares the other night with the lamp, and bumped into a badger, must of got 3 yards away before he noticed me..... and as for the trailcam, if somebody is cutting your snares then you could also risk them taking your cam to..... and had both snares cut and foxes snap them, i find that if a fox has them then they will of been snapped near enough where the eyelet was, whereas if they are cut it is usually at the top of the snare, where it is connected to the fence or tealer Quote Link to post
Rabbit Killer12 5 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yep that's right there is about half a inch of wire left attached to the fence Quote Link to post
