Fox snare advice

[darrren 414]

Alright lads had problems with fox at my sisters field for a while now. Over a year. Seen him on the lamp a few times he's a big old dog. I out a few snares down last year with no luck, however I could only keep them up two days a week on weekends as I worked away. I now am based close so I commute each day and put the snares up yesterday, so I can leave them up full time. I'm hoping this increases chances of a catch. The runs are all over the place and there's some real good obvious spots so I've just put them on the narrow runs so to funnel them into the snare.

It will be dark tonight when I check but I'll get some clear photos up on the weekend. I only have two snares up at the moment so will add more up this weekend.

I will also get photos of the runs and show you, would be good to get feedback. Never had a snared fox only started snaring last year, had a few rabbits in brass snares.

Make sure any pics are legal mate ,deer stops and free running .

Heard of people hanging baited shark hooks a metre or so off the ground but sounds gruesome and illegal.

Hooks? .... Cruel f*#kers

One would like to presume the snares are set legally at all times, not just when photographed for a discussion board.

Ok I checked the snares last night, it was pulled and there was some fox fur on the end where the loop hit the stopper. I guess I've set it too low and big and he's gone through and caught his leg on it, so I know ow I'm in the right place.
