Fox trapping pictures!

Post by Missourian » April 8th, 2004, 12:59 pm

Here's a couple fox pictures. I hope they turn out okay.

This was my first fox catch. I caught it this year while trying to catch a coyote.

This was my second fox. The picture is kind of dark because it was taken early in the morning.

I hope everyone enjoys them. Thanks, Adam Image

JDMan,
Thanks. They were caught in a dirthole set. To make a dirthole set, first you have to find a backing. The backing prevents the critter from working the set from the wrong side(where the trap isn't placed). This can be a rock, small log, stump, tuft of grass or just about anything else. Then you dig a hole at a 45 degree angle under the backing. The trap is bedded out in front of the hole and slightly offcenter. Bait and or lure is then placed in the hole. Here is a link that describes it much better than I did. http://www.trapperman.com/trapperman/dirthole_set.html I hope this helps. Thanks, Adam Image
