A great day Fox Trapping
Had a great day of fox trapping yesterday. Checking traps yesterday morning and at
the first set a very nice Red fox waiting for me. About 20 yards away at another set was another
nice red fox. I made a small cubby dirt hole at each set, with a step stick out in front. This was
done ,becuse deer were seting off my traps. I make this set fast and easy by making my dirt hole
set, at this set I used a piece of log as my backing with my traps out about 10 inches from the log.
Using my # 1 Fox and Coyote bait down in my dirt hole on a piece of wool, then I placed alittle grass over the hole. As a call lure I used Halbaker fox and coyote food lure as a call. I then
placed a #1 1/2 victor trap with wax paper as trap pan cover and sifted dirt over the trap making it
look as flat and natural as possible. Then to finish this set I take branches and twigs and place at
about a 30 degree angle from my backing out about 2 ft. At the front of the set the opening is
about 20 inches placeing a step stick across the front. This type of set helps to keep deer from
setting my traps off. With a good shot of fox urine on my backing the set is finished.
