castletyne Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 its just farmer wants any fox i see gone. only reason i was saying about baiting was to get it in range The fox doesn't need to be causing a problem to shoot it if you have permision go for it The only time I use bait is inn a live catch trap and I use mackerel other than that I just use the back of my hand to sqeak it im Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well some might say if u need to bait a fox its not causing a problem. So doesn't need shooting.. :hmm: Some might say it brings the fox to a safe shooting position, which you can time, usually within minutes! Job done!

Also find the dog biscuit meal works well, for the same reasons. All the usual, rabbit, squirrel, pigeon, chicken etc etc etc are likely to work in time. Everyone will have their favourites!
