I could do with it coming on an evening because I’m to lazy to be getting out of bed early morning, but we’ll see over the next week if it’s habits change It's habits or yours? As foxes themselves tend to be creatures of habit, somehow I think you might need to set your alarm. It probably has a large range and just gets to your farm around 5-6am before calling it a night. Not saying you won't see it an evening but the fact the cameras only caught it at 5-6am is a very good sign that's it's regular time. Quote Link to post
Stavross 16,749 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’ve managed to get them to come in earlier with baiting quite a few times but only by a few hours, like you say there’s a good chance it’s coming from a good way off, there’s also the chance that it’s not the one I’ve been seeing in the front field because it’s a big area for just one of them and with the surrounding farms and woodland it could be from anywhere 2 Quote Link to post
