fox dispatch

<< < (3/3)

TRACY:
If you want to be skilled and proficient,then Jeff gave you great and accurate info. I feel like you were extremely polite and tactful Jeff. A fox has more nerves in the bridge of the nose and a sharp but swift blow will humanely and ethically dispatch the animal if that is the end goal.

Squirrelslayer, may I suggest that you join one of the trapping forums on the internet?  There are some great forums available where experienced trappers can answer your questions.  Use of the search function will teach you all you need to know about fox trapping and proper use of the resource.  Please don't take this suggestion as criticism, I've learned a lot from the trapping forums myself.  Good luck with your fox!

All the foxes or coons I ever caught were dispatched with a 22 into the forehead.  Death is instant and sure.   First off, no one uses this part of the fur anyway, and second there is little if any blood.  There is one hole if you shoot straight on, since the bullet travels into the neck and body. 

I agree with the others, the fox or any other critter deserves a quick death.  Trust me in this, yo want ALL of your trapping banned, let some one see you either stepping on its chest or clubbing it, and it won't be long before the video is on Youtube and PETA is camping out on your state capitol's doorstep.  It has happened in a number of states and they are only LOOKING for a perfectly good example.  Remember the videos of guys clubbing the baby fur seals?  They are still using that video today.

Never once had a buyer even comment on a head shot hole.
