Fisheruk Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Trap and dispatch with .22lr subsonic making sure of soft soil to avoid richocet. Provided you have permission from the landowner. Edited August 14, 2013 by Fisheruk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've got rid of quite a lot of town foxes. Best way is to set a cage trap over soft ground because then you don't have to waste time waiting for it to turn up. When you catch them shoot them in the head with a .22 subsonic - job done. If they won't go in the trap, which most town foxes seem ok with but there's always one, then use bait. Find a spot that offers a safe shot from an upstairs window ideally and feed it every night for a week and then go and shoot it from the window. A good way to tell the time the bait is taken is to peg down a cheap clock and tie the bait to the battery. When the fox takes the bait it pulls the battery out, telling you the time it was pulled. Record the time every day when renewing the bait and reset the clock - chances are it will get into some kind of routine and the bait will be taken at a similar time each day as the fox does his round. Get there half an hour early and bingo - you shouldn't have to wait long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
