Davy Holt Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Still happening :( Check around the field and see where "it" is entering, grass should be worn down and set up a camera covering that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Holt Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 start baiting one spot as often as you can, preferably every evening, keep the camera on it to see when it gets visited. once you get your visitor, keep baiting for another week or so before setting up an ambush. Put a battery PIR out covering the bait and wait for that to trip line up the rifle, lamp on and bang .. problem sorted ... the fox will be so used to the free food it's preoccupied with it and normally takes longer to react to the lamp going on... works every time for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Bait and decent night vision is required followed by an all night sit out if required. Last summer we had one taking chickens from a small holding and it had learned to scale the building site fencing that was keeping them in. I shot 12 before I got the right one and we stopped the problem. Every time there with NV we shot 3, no messing and no bothering to find out if any were lamp shy we just shot them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
