Now this is tin hat territory but for what its worth.. a feral cat buried head down with its ass covered with about 1/2 an inch of soil. The smell rises through the body and out of its backside. They will come to it like flys to a turd. If you have ever smelt a rotton cat you will know why.
Oh yes and you have to shoot the cat first.

Can of sardines in oil punctured with a nail then the tin nailed to a fence post.
The smell of the "fishy oil" pulls em in!!
They can't get through the tin to the sardines so have to lick the oil off the post (keeps em there longer!)

I wish I had read this properly the first time. Could not find a cat so I thought I would try the sardines except I thought you said pilchards so after a couple of days I note that the tomato sauce has blocked the holes up solid and there is no smell. Ho hum. At least I know what to do if I cant find the Rad Weld
Yep sardines in oil mate
Not sure the foxes like tomato sauce

Do you find you need to leave the bait stations for a few days before you shoot the foxes or can you place them up on the day you want to shoot them?
I'm just wondering if they'll keep coming back to the same spot if they realise there's no proper food there.
