Zuma actually I have never trapped a fox. When I use to land trap it was mostly raccoons. I actually really enjoy hunting them. They are my very favorite animal and I very much enjoy watching them and respect them a great deal. The coyotes where really hard on them when they 1st showed up but they seem to have figured out how to avoid the coyotes and numbers are really good here again.

Feel free to PM me though I might be able to help you out a bit.

Zuma a stove pipe buried at a 45 degree angle into a bank around a creek with some bait at the bottom will get a fox 90% of the time. Worse thing is there alive in there they can't back out so you have to be creative on putting them down.

Zuma:
Thanks BJ

Thanks Gutshot
That's a method I never heard of. Interesting.
No leg hold or snare? The pipe is the trap?
What diameter pipe?

8" if you can find it

I skinned a coyote this morning.  I'm not very good at detailed skinning.  I think I did OK on it.  I put it in the freezer for now.  I plan on doing some hide tanning this winter sometime.  That road dog was an old one.  His canines were all worn down and one was missing.  He had tumors growing on him also.  He was still healthy looking and a good layer of fat going into the winter.  I hope I can do a good job tanning him.  It's a big hide.
