Luckily for him, squirrels are catch and release at our house... Until they eat my bait one to many times

Cute squirrel I was always worried I would get a skunk or something other then a fox in mine but so far I have only caught foxes.

If I had some corn cob I would be getting a lot of squirrels.Suprising the amount of meat on those little critters.I never gutted one,but watched on you tube.

Anyday without sign of new possum or coon is a good day... We have fox, but ive never had a problem with them personally

My live trap two days ago

Whats your preffered bait??

 

[Mygirls20]

For foxes? These ones are being fed buy a neighbor

So I wire a piece of frozen chicken breast to the back bottom corner so they really have to get on there. They got frustrated they cant pull the chicken out then bam they step on the trigger plate. For the trap shy foxes I wire the frozen chicken cover it in peanut butter then place some dog food on it stick it back in the freezer so everything stiffens up then wire it to the trap same way as before. I will also put a small piece of chicken outside the trap and another before the trigger plate even if they eat the first two pieces and leave they cant help but come back for the rest. Once you trap a fox you have to kill it though. The foxes get to smart and rarely go back in the trap again.

Also I use to not wire the chicken in but they kept getting the mean out without setting off the trap wiring it really helps

My weapon of choice... You can shoot all day and not waste much money... In your state there is nobody you can contact about this??? Surely there is some legal org that wont like people feeding wild predators... DNR maybe?
