i hope the sweat is from a Western Lowland Gorilla and not a Eastern Lowland Gorilla. you also forgot to mention that it must be collected under the light of a full moon.

Jam sandwich, and no I am not joking I am deadly serious. foxes have a terrible sweet tooth and anything sugary attracts them. Not a lot of people know that. You want to watch urban foxes at night going round the bins in a town centre. they go for all the sweet stuff. thats why urban foxes teeth are so bad i guess

As has been said, almost anything, deer scraps, rabbit, chicken pieces, pigeon, pheasant etc, dog food.

 

Sweet stuff does work, there are "tame" foxes at Bisley and they will virtually eat the sandwiches from your hand....

 

This chap was about 3-4m in front of me picking up a sandwich one of the guys threw out, quick shot with the phone, hence poor quality!

I use sardines, just place one very lightly buried like a cross with the trap in the middle, I find a spray of feralmone spray attractant or a little old urine about waist high to attract customers a great help.

Their a soft jaw and not that bad, they grip great but don't hurt too much, and yes I have caught my hand in a couple.

I collect old traps and have some pretty nasty ones, but these soft jaws are pretty tame.

 

Just check them every few hours so nothing is caught for too long, much more humane then snares.
