Trying to ambush a fox.

One shot on kill

So yesterday I came home to this.



Infairness she got a bang of a car but I have been loosing them to foxs aswell. So the brain started going and I got my little clock out and fishing line.

I've tryed getting the fox for a while but he won't come to any calls and bolts the second he sees the lamp.

So I tied the old fishing line to the chicken and then around the battery in the clock and then tied to the fence post. I got a time of it anyway and it was 05:07hrs now I didn't put anything out tonite because I just didn't have anything.

My question is how many times should I do this to try make the fox become laxadazy, and how many times it to many. Also how long before the time should I be in position for.

Thanks in advance lads.

timing can be tricky on the likes of this,, i had a sneaky fella comin into the back garden last year to gather up the dog nuts the magpie was dropping out of the larsen.. (the mags dont like the green ones )

He used to appear at dawn and dusk but its when youre actually waiting that he wont show,, took me 3 attempts of early mornings to get a shot,,

Id say youd want to be setting up atleast an hour before so you are well set before he makes an appearance or gets close enough to notice something is up..
maybe a snare would do the job for you if you knew where he was coming from??

I used a trail camera to watch a fox coming to my pen. I found they don't have routine, for 2 or 3 nights they could come in within a half an hour or an hour of a difference then not appear for a week. Some times it came in 2 or 3 times in a nite. It seemed hit or miss with them. My advise is try find their way in and try a snare

One shot on kill

I thought they were a creature of habit. Haven aid that the time I've been spoting him has be getting later. I wonder has it anything got to do with the longer evening.

Cool looking trap trigger I suppose you would just dispatch him then in the trap.
