JordKil 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Recently iv had a dog fox appearing at my shed trying to get in at my ferrets. Iv been chasing him away and letting my dog mark around the garden to try and see him off. But he aint shy and will watch what im doing and then walk away. Im semi rural (walking distance from town) I dont have any kind of gun in my house so thats not really an option but if hes trapped the farmers would love to help as they've been after the bugger for years so they could possibly shoot him. I dont think snaring would help as lots of people walk past my house with dogs and even my mutt could get caught. What is the best way to either deter him or exterminate him?

4.10 6 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 use a cage trap mate then get a farmer round to dispatch him with the gun Quote Link to post
JordKil 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Aye sounds a plan. Iv been looking at these fox traps and they cost about £! It seems a waste to spend that kind of money on one fox. Does anybody know any cheaper ones or details on making one?? Cheers Jordan Quote Link to post
Guest Rod&dog Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 as they've been after the bugger for years lol lol ,,If they wanted it that bad and they have been after it for years it would not be around now Quote Link to post
Corky(amateur) 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 i would ask a local farmer toborrow a cage trap from them, see if they have one and just return it after use. they are heavy mind you so be prepared Quote Link to post

The bloke I was speaking to said hes had to start taking his lambs in as the foxes are that much bother I suggested he tryed to get them the old fashioned way of shooting them but he said he aint got a gun some farmer lol but if they go the other side of the hill theres the nutcase farmer who shoots everthing and anything that sets foot in his fields...but they're sly wee buggers n keep clear of him.
