fox trap

[joe woodward 0]

iv got a fox trap set in my granmars garden where she has a big problem with foxes digging under her fence its been there a week now and the fox is setting the trap of by getting his paw thro the mess holes so iv put some finer mess on it but hes setting it off now and i dont no how hes doing it its a drop door trap and there is no way it can get out and it isnt the wind because iv moved the trap about the garden and it hasnt gone off any help?

Try putting a few snares where hes getting under, He wont be able to set these off with his feet

i cart [bANNED TEXT] there is to many catts around there or wires would have been down.

There's your answer, Joe. I reckon it'll be the moggies setting the trap off rather than the fox.

do a stake out. see how hes setting it off.

if it were a cat surely the cat would still be in the trap. i think the answer is more than likely wind or the fox nudging the trap. presuming it the type that has a rod that is attached to the floor pad and through an eye in the top. Try setting it so it take more force to set it off.

Best idea

wait out with a silenced 22. and a lamp and bait a peg in the middle of the garden

Try puttin a branches n bushes on the back of the trap so that the only place he can see the bait is through the open door of the trap..

Just try the snares mate, make the noose big enough for a cat to pass through, they will pass through big snare nooses no probs

dont no how your trap works mate but if you can try to set it so its not as easy to set of a well placed bit of blue tack leave it jamed open for a few days till the bait is bein taken every night the zip tie the bate to the trigger.

do you have access to transport?, as if not, how will you humanely dispatch a caught fox at your nans garden, unless you use the above
