Fox Problem

[jojo@rolling acres farm]

Hey guys when you get the time can you explain how a snare would work- just in case I get another visit? I did know the last path of travel for the fox that died of mange. I actually heard him swish through some tall grass and into the woods one day. The following week when I saw him go after my silkies he ran into the exact same area when he saw me running over.

Here is a good link about trapping.

Hope you get him. I have killed two in the last year and am having a problem with another one. It takes time but they can be trapped.
