Live catch fox trap.

[jon2]

Dear all

I’m looking to buy a live catch fox trap. Which one do I need to buy? I’ve looked at the one Bushwear has and also the Trapman which are around the £120 mark. Any recommendations?

Many thanks

Try Colin's Traps( on faceache). Work well.

Make one yourself.

 

[old keeper]

Get the biggest one you can, many are just too small.

I have got a couple of these, one I leave permanently baited, that one normally grabs one or two a year, along with the odd cat.

Pardon our interruption...

if buying again I would get the longer one they sell.

I have 3 of these: Fox trap, The Trap Man fox cage trap, humane cage trap designed to catch a fox.
They are very good, I have caught a fair few urban foxes in them, I'd sell one if you were interested. I don't really need all 3.

Buy the 50mm galvenised mesh and make your own, you can then make them to what you want

i made mine foldable all in galvanised steel, they work perfectly with a sliding trap door, well worth making a decent one on a bait hook and pin works brilliant

 

[old keeper]

A friend of mine made a couple of excellent fox traps out of the galvanised gabions they use on some road-building projects. They were big and had to be shifted on the front loader but they worked a treat!

We always left ours in permanent sites rather than moving them, over the years caught quite a lot.

Thank you gents for all the suggestions. I’ll work through the suggestions and do a bit. more diligence. I want to look at the Colin’s traps suggestion too but I’m not on Facebook and so I’ll get one of the whipper snappers to show me on their account.

Thanks again.
