Best fox bait

[Rhodesianjess]

Any stinking carcasses will do chuck it it the wheelings with a snare each side of it. Saves wasting time sitting on a bait. Snares and traps work 24 hrs, you can't.

Especially the tramlines opposite gateways,they always run them.

Old keepers trick or old wives tale, bury a cat with its tail sticking out if you want to draw a fox in, never tried it meself as there is a distinct lack of cats in the area.

Bit of a problem on the Isle of Man

Tax free fat cats, bury em deep. They smell of hand lotion & hairspray, most things steer clear of them except for Google Amazon & most of Westminster

Do you tie them down or bury them?

As this is a hunting site it amazes me the questions asked on here tbh .Common sense alludes a section of our compardaris it appears .If the dog can’t reach it but a fox can smell it ….join the dots and move on

I hear they are readily available to order direct from certain sites

Have you tried a lady`s used underwear had a terrier pup that loved to chew the crutch out of them?

Imagine blaming the poor pup!!!

I have recently tried these, chucked a few out with the trail cam set up and the fox was on them in the first night! Held it for over an hour as it was hunting for them in the grass, cheap and most importantly, convenient!

Told ya !

Great advise! Much easier than pegging a load of stinking dead rabbits out!
Sat out last night and got the fox with a devastating head shot at just over 100 yards from the 22-250, I would post it but it’s a bit graphic!

Nice one, The best thing is to create a line, any fox crossing that line will follow them, one every 4-5 meters, you can bring them to wherever you want, from wherever they are. No squeaking, just patience. Tramlines are ideal

I have been using dog biscuits for a while but find you have to use a catty to get them out there or they will cross your scent and be off

only trouble using dried food , it doesn’t last long when rained on

The best one Ive found is mixed wet cat food sprinkled up a bush to get the benefits of a breeze, that brings em in and holds em for a few seconds

These ones seem very water resistant.

Do you tie them down or bury them?

Tie them down obviously after they are dead

Rabbit guts strewn out 3 nights and shoot on the 4th

 

[Hornet]

A tin of cat food with a few holes in tied to a tele graph pole or similar so that it can swing

Or Tuna, small holes so the juices dribble out, I shot a lot of problem Foxes a few years back using this method

Do you tie them down or bury them?

I don't bury them in fact I don't tie them down either . I put enough down to make the foxes come in and feel safe for a day or two or put a trail camera on them to make sure then I feed the area and then sit out .
