Spewy Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 After 4 months managed to get a pesky fox Yes I'm not the best So I bought a cam and set up a bait point filmed for 2 night for nothing Next day decided to change position only to see the rabbits were taken grrrrr So about 7pm I was driving up to another field and two bright eyes appeared in the middle of the next field I've see a couple on this field lately but never to get a shot away So cam is up and a large bait Drove up last night at 6 hidden behind a wall As it got dark started to get annoyed by cows wandering about Then watching the bait threw nv monocular about 20 meters away a fox runs past no chance to get gun and lamp ready So thought he's heading for bait Then 10mins later I let out a couple sqeeks on caller Then it was like a squeak echo The little **** killed a bunny in the bushes So gave up Check cam tomorrow see what's on it Hopefully not red kites they stole my bait before Hats off to you guys with better field craft and toys Ps tried hand squeeking Eh not good Stewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herby Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Keep plugging away. Keep bait and cam in same area and you will get a time he collects his food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornfree Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 If birds are taking your bait bury it, also it keeps the fox there longer digging it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Anything smelly. We are using tripe juice from the dog food for extra pong. I have half a dozen pheasant carcass hanging from the tree in the garden but at the moment they are all frozen. They will get hungry and then they are mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
