Trapping foxes in a estate

dodderangler

Lads can it be done or is it illegal
This morning I found teeth marks beside my ferrets enclosure and I know it's a fox seen him few nights ago on the wall and when I come home from work( work shift work mostly nights till 3am) I do see at least 4-5 foxes big lads aswell
I'm not losing my ferrets over it and I just wondering is it legal to trap them in a house estate
Thanks for all replies

Perfectly legal - its the same as operating a Larsen trap.

It is, when I saw it I was dubious until I received it, very good & sturdy it would madden you the prices we are quoted here,outside of taxes and such 100% mark up is not justified in my opinion.Basically two for the price of one no brainer.

Thats not the same trap. The fox trap lkpoultry in nearly double the size of the one from america and much stronger. This trap is pretty much the same size as the one from america and guess what? its much cheaper here....

and looks much stronger!

Not trying to get into an argument here, your example albeit a good price is not for foxes & is smaller than the link I provided,horses for courses if you will.Its about choice for 'Fox Traps', there is an alternative to paying double the price for the trap as far as the weight issue the trapped fox is the counterweight surely.I have this trap it went out this morning with bait while on a stalk .Just an alternative thanks for the input though.

If you are using a trap in a built up area you should keep it covered and be discrete when dispatching your fox, maybe wait till nightfall or transport the cage and dispatch away from the nosy neighbor's!!

In between bins at the side of your house could be a good spot

Maybe. I had a quick look and didnt see anything cheaper. It's a good quality cage and looks like it will last forever. It paid for itself already when I caught that evil ginger devil

Ah here now
I know we all have issues with gingers and think they are the devils but no need to trap them
Trap foxes not gingers!
