Fox Run .......!

[Rolfe 2]

Just a quick picture i took yesterday of a fox run just out from the fence line. She has just started running the fence line to check for snared rabbits and also to drink from the water trough at the end of the hedge. I have watched her go that way about three times now. Note the almost dead straight line and narrowness of run with distinct lack of beats.......that is one of the difference between a rabbit run and a fox run for anybody who is unsure. Thats my old Lurcher working in the background

WELL LADS ,

 

THE FOX RUN IS NORMALLY IN A VEE SHAPE .......... ONLY INCHES ACROSS AT THE BOTTOM , THEY DONT KNOW WHAT HITS THEM WITH A NICE BIG NOOSE SET WITH A WIRE TEALER ....... ALMOST INVISABLE

 

 

ALL THE BEST

a figure four tealer fox wire on that run and no more fox predation of the wires they are very regular once they learn that rabbits are in the snares and are reletively easy to catch

Hi woodga, I snare an area of rough ground about the size of a decent field. I do it a couple of times a year, and it's fairly easy to do as the runs are clear and it's a dark area at night. I only get perhaps 40 rabbits over two or three nights, but I lose a quarter of them to foxes. I did think about putting fox snares on the down wind runs to see if I could get them as they home in on a squealer. Do you think it would work or would the snares need longer for the scent to go. The reason I'm asking is that I would have to buy snares and get pegs or make up earth anchors, as I've no fox gear these days. Would the hassle be worth it in your opinion.

rolfe is that the field you are going to set with rabbit wires , you will have to set them up , and catch that rascal first

How effective is snaring along fences like that and does anybody have any pictures of perfect places to set along a hedge like that. if you have any please either post them on here or PM me.

Thanks all
