robbietherimmer Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yesterday I found a dead roe caught by the back leg on a fence. It may have been there for 7-10 days and is intact. If I was make a makeshift bait station (basically tie it to a fence post in middle of field) do you think fox would find it and revisit it over a couple of weeks OR would I be best to butcher it and make a few bait stations?? Its beyond human consumption and will be tainted with adrenaline even if it was fresh but shame to leave it hanging there if I could use it for luring Charlie ...

Dekers Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 If there were any fox in the area there wouldn't be anything left of the deer! If you want to cart a rotting carcase to the middle of a field you know the fox frequent it will most certainly find it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 If its only been there a day or two dont presume there are no foxes in the area.Once they get a whiff of some scoff they will travel a good distance and butchered roe carcasses are what i use through the summer.Stake it down to stop them dragging it and once they start using it plan a night or two.
