How do I kill a fox in a have-a-heart trap?

[itsasmallfarm]

I have removed a couple small areas with bolt cutters for easy barrel access. Just a thought for others.

would an air rifle bounce off? what about that bird/snake shot for .22?

I barely trust the .22 snake shot to take care of snake, mice and ground squirrels here.

never used it was always told fox are very thin skinned animals. i know its only effective to like 10 ft?

my grandpa always wanted to sneak up to pigeons and shoot them with .22 snake shot real close. lol

I've tested ours in a controlled range to find the spread and penetrating power. I suggest anyone do the same with their brand. No need to torture an animal with slow shot or broad spread.

.22 is just a caliber - you have the choice of firearm (powder charge) with either short long or long rifle powder charge, or a .22 cal pellet gun that can dispatch a trapped animal without the danger of the firearm. .22 cal bullets are more powerful than most pellet rifles .

Not all 22 rimfire guns made today shoot shorts but long rifle only. Check your manuals and look on the barrels. Better yet, get classes and know gun safety and how the weapon works.
