Make a fur coat out of him.
Quote: Absolutely.....and by culling, let's call it killing to be sure we're clear.
Culling can mean re-location, re-homing, etc.
Anything trapped should be killed, re-location is bad for many reasons.
Trapping and/or killing won't get rid of all of them, but it will decrease their numbers.
Best short term solution tho is to keep birds in secure coops and pens.
Fox population can ebb and flow, when they have kits they are teaching to hunt is the worst time.
If you were to accidentally step in one it would chop your leg off. Naaa, just kidding. I hear stuff like that from city/suburbia people practically all the time. They also think the traps have steel teeth in the jaws - I think that's because that's what they saw in cartoons when they were young. Another thing I hear all the time is that animals chew their feet off to get free - another bull-hockey notion which never happens with responsible trappers.Hi ejcrist,
No I'm not too familiar with for trapping but just a couple of questions on the subject. If I was to accidentally step in one, what would happen to my leg? In my area it's 'rubber jaws only on all traps' what does that mean? And finally if I was to catch a fox how long would it take to die?
I really want to get rid of these pests as if one of them got in my cage, I'd be ruined!
Thanks for all the replies,

i just got my trapping license this year (so i can legally trap predators) but before you go out and start getting traps make sure you can legally do it, some places require a trapping permit to trap animals (on certain species, for example where i live weasels and foxes are fur bearing animals requiring a permit to trap them though as far as i can tell it is legal to shoot them if they kill or harm your animals, but on the other hand raccoons and coyotes are open game) but just make sure you can legally trap the animal with out any special permits needed.Hi ejcrist,
