Hey all. I've done a lot of reading on the forum about different methods to catch a fox. I have a havahart trap because I have many cats and there are neighborhood cats, and some not so brilliant dogs that I don't want to kill.
I was thinking, would getting a petstore mouse and putting it in a plastic tupperware (with holes in the top, for air, obviously) be a good lure? I know the sent might not drift, or whatever (do mice even have a smell?) so I also have a dead mouse courtesy of my cats that I can put outside the tupperware but still in the trap. I was thinking being able to see the mouse and not see fencing around it might be a good way to lure the fox in? I plan on covering the trap with some brush to make it not to trap-like.
If this doesn't work, my next plan of attach is anchovies in oil. Thoughts?
