whitehackle Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I am thinking of setting up a bait station for fox's to use dry dog food in. Reason for this is to keep the place neat and tidy. I was thinking of using 110mm soil pipe with stop ends in both ends. And drill holes a bit bigger than the dog food. Fix this to a fence post. So that a fox could get the food out, but it would have to stay there for a bit and work for it. And set a trail cam up. Has anyone else done similar? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delwint Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have pipes buried in the ground and if I get crows magpies or the guts from rabbits they go in the pipe. They’ll get a visit 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 If its for shooting I would just put bait under a staked sheet of galvanised mesh they will spend hours getting it out. If I have bird carcasses they go on a string loop around the bait post behind the house. Its 145m away from kitchen window. Perfect. Not so sure about dry dog food. I am sure it will work but if there is one in range but not visiting a tin of pilchards will probably work better 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 If you use tinned fish save the oil, this soaks in and wont wash away in the rain, and cat food is generally better as its more fish based, save left over food scraps, all sorts.

Can even be re used , just wrap it in a plastic bag and tie it to a tree branch. The smellier and more rancid the better ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 You should see my bait area now. I put all my chickens there on string and a load of pheasants (de breasted) and everything is feeding there including a group of Buzzards and I have bits of leg, wing spread all over the place. Badgers and foxes pull bit of deer out of the no mans land ditch so I have pieces of jaw and spine all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
