Trapping fox

[sureshot]

gus I used to trap foxes alot, I did not usually wax the traps but I did boil them and die them all, I always wore rubber boots and gloves and usually had hole sets, I saved all the guys and feathers from my fall bird huntign and dug a hole in front of the hole allready there, i would put soem guts in the hole burry it then cover the trap with a small peice of wax paper to stop the freezing down then siftign with dirt or snow, to top it all off I would spread feathers all around!! Mynext best set was one in thick trees, i would set soem bait and make it so the fox could only get in one way by puttign branches low, I would then put a stepping stick, like a 5" log across the trail the fox would every tien step on it to look awound and I had the trap set a few inches before it so he had to step on it, I would set up abotu 20 yards from the bait,make twigs ect so the fox will step on the trap not arouhnd it! Good luck!!

Gus, are you using pocket sets? If so try doubling up... as far as your traps, if you've boiled and waxed, you should be in good shape, gloves and rubber boots too, also do not kneel at the set, that'll get you in trouble.
