Being a farmer I'm eligible for a category C license. At the moment I've only got an A and B license (which is what most people have).
It's not that hard to get a license, but it is a long winded process. If you have criminal record then you're ineligible for a license.

The gun restrictions were introduced in the mid 90's after a mass shooting, I was fairly young when it all happened. But the gun laws were pretty lax before then.

I see always someone out there trying to remove a freeman's rights to protect them selves what a shame but I am not going to get into politicks on the internet it is just not very wise ..

But I am glad to see a farmer has their right to protect the live stock from praetors ...

I almost got in trouble a little more then a year age for using traps that I received from my Grandpa back in the 1960's and he received them as a child from a family member and as old and well used as they are it is funny that they still work just fine anyway the neighbors got upset over me catching their dog's and cat's on a regular basis's and I would return them if they asked but normally the adults sent the kids over or I would turn them over to animal control but anyway the Sheriff said it was not his jurisdiction so it eventually went to the farmers burro and the investigator who was the only man who gave out trappers tags in the Southern California area informed me that trapping other then a cage is not allowed but that I may use a .22 or a shotgun so I nor use a 12 gauge with 3 1/2 inch long shells and the only place to get them is the internet and is very pricy but worth watching the neighbor's come a running at 3 in the morning looking for their dog so I also have to call the Sheriff's Department every time I fire a shot with in 24 hours and if I hit something 6 hours so animal control and pick it up and I may not keep Any of the Fox or Bob-Cats unless I have the proper tags $$$$$$$$ ya all about money ....

But don't get me wrong I spent $ 10,000 dollars on a 6 foot high fence or 2 meters and the animal has to dig to get in or jump the fence and I did see a mountain lion in my front yard one morning and in one bounce it cleared the fence and was shot a mile down the road eating someone's dog in the owners car port and it was one of the Deputies who did the shooting ....

But last year I fired 2 box's of 25 shells each at predators and one night 3 Bob-Cat's from my front porch so I really do not even have to walk to find them ....

Try some 3" 12 gauge shells in shot size 4 buck, that is my favorite shell for varmints especially if it is a larger sort like a dog or coyote or if you need to reach out a little further, my buddy got a fox through open woods at 85 paces with it, maybe more lucky than good but it still did the trick.

Why do you have to call the sheriff's dept within 24 hours of shooting your gun? If you are in an area where it is legal to shoot I do not see how they could enforce such a thing.

This morning at 7 am... We heard the guineas firing out, and when I went outside they were "attacking" a big red fox that had killed a hen and was dragging it off. I went for my shotgun but too late... I plan to bait him and kill him tomorrow morning. What is the best bait?....

Forty years ago a local fox hunting club bought up all the guineas and yard chickens from half the county and released them on their property weekly to help the foxes with their grocery bill.

I think that you already have the perfect fox "bait." If a cackling hen or guinea won't lure a fox into shotgun range, thin strips of pig meat won't suffice either.

I agree, three inch number 4 buck shot is like firing 42 (I think) .22 caliber rifle bullets with only one pull of the trigger. At close range it takes a mighty sly fox to escape that barrage. Also remember that fox kit raising season is in full swing and that it may be wise to scope out any brush piles, rocky areas or old ground hog holes for the den.
Just be in the right place at the right time, that is the key, and don't forget to load your shotgun. Good hunting.
