Birx Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 As the only foxes around here are all lamp shy, baiting continues to be the most productive method. With time at a premium for me at the moment, I'm not getting much rabbiting done, so I decided to try tinned fish as a bait. Pouring the oils from the fish on a telegraph pole about 6' up distributes the smell fantastically, and the foxes appear to find it irresistible! A static lamp doesn't faze even the most wary fox, and they happily and obligingly trot right in. This has yielded five foxes in five outings for me in the past two weeks, all taken just after last light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have used fish oil with good results. Another excellent attractant is the liquid created after boiling horse hoof clippings. This is really pungent and this method is used in America to attract Coyotes and Bobcat's.
