Sounds like a good idea. Fox trap is set tonight -- after three nights of gaining its trust. Crossing my fingers!

Holy Hannah! They are pricey! But then I stumbled upon this one...

50,000 volts?!? I wish!! Ours is only 7,000. Where can I get a game camera? Would TSC or Cabelas sell something useful? Or maybe Amazon? We live in a residential suburb of Hartford, so there isn't a ton of shopping options when it comes to hunting/farming gear close by.

Our fox issues have been keeping me up at night. Over the last three months we've had two fox raids, with a grand total of 12 hens lost. After the first attack which killed 12 on Easter Sunday, we installed an 8-strand electric fence around an acre of pasture and the barn. Everyone is locked...
