(1/3) > >>

Squirrelslayer:
ok i know i have alot of fox related posts but im going to be traping a fox soon and wan't to know how to dispatch it without breaking the skull or making any holes in the pelt is there any way i could do it? maybe break the neck but then i would have to wrestle it wouldent i ? (i guess that would make a good vid me trying to wrestle a fox) >:D. and to save anyone the troble. yes i have checked and it is legal to trap and kill foxes where i live.  any sugestions will be great. :D

Ifrit617:
A single .22 shot between the eyes is the easiest, fastest and most humane way to do it. I WOULD NOT suggest breaking its neck.

i've heard of guys hitting them hard on the top of the head with a shovel then while there stunned standing on top of their heart right behind the shoulder for about a minute, i don't know if it works or not, i always just put a 22. cb or 22. short between the blinkers or behind the ear

danny f:
well i dont think you would want to try and break its neck,  it would be very difficult to do without being bitten,  if you havent handled live foxes before, they are very quick and fiesty,  i have been bitten by one and it doesnt tickle. i have handled lots of live foxes as we used to release them rather than kill them as we just did it for the sport rather than pest control.   the best way would be a club if you dont have a firearm.   

boughnut:
shoot it through the eye socket with a powerful .177 air rifle.  or 22 short low velocity round.  If you can get him on his back since you have to slit the belly side open anyway angle a 22 low velocity short up through his belly into his heart.
