Heres what was waiting for me yesterday.

Here ya go, bit easier to see it

Did ya have the gun with ya??

You are the 2nd person ever to even say they caught a fox using a larsen trap, nevermind prove it.

Fair play to you!

The only other time I have seen it with my 2 eyes (i had to go see, I didn't believe it being told over the phone) is by my gun club chairman, who caught 2 fox cubs, one in each of the trapping compartments of his larsen cage. That was 3 years ago I'd say. They were small cubs though. No sign of the mother vixen. I can't remember if he had any extra bait such as meat in the sides, other than the call bird in the center.

I have no picture to show but caught 2 more magpies myself today. That makes it 99 magpies for my count exactly. So 1 more and I hit the big 100.

Ok so it looks like the catching of foxes using Larsen traps is more common than I thought

Well I have never caught one using a Larsen trap, only got them using a fox cage which is designed for the job. But it must be some joy to walk to your Larsen cage to see a fox in it

I'll be checking my cage in about an hour or so, have it in a neighbours yard, up on the roof of an old small water well pump house, under a huge ash tree. Caught 11 magpies so far there. I don't for certain if there is any left, thought I saw one fly away from the big ash tree yesterday but couldn't be certain.

I will edit this post if I catch anything.

EDIT: yup, had 1 magpie caught. Thats 12 magpies caught in that yard and brings my total to 100 magpies
