I need ideas for fox sets

A dirthole set with some bait in the whole and lure on top.

Here's a picture tutorial for a flat set, caught 3 fox total here, on the remakes of the set.

Supplies you'll need are you digging and pounding tool. Staking sytstem and trap(I'm using duke #1.75), gland lure(I'm using dobbins Purrrfect), and fox urine and sifter. You will also need a backing of some sort. If you want to use gloves you can.


Next dig out your trap bed ONLY big enough for your trap, no bigger. Position your trap and bed it solid. Sift a ligh covering of dirt over it since this won't be your final covering


Now put your backing about 9 inches back, closer if you want but not a whole lot. Blend in your set with your surrounding vegatation, In this set I used grass. If I was in the woods I would have used the leaves lying around. Apply your gland to the top part closest to your trap. Squirt your urine on the side of the backing facing your trap.


Here is the finished set showing location as well.


And here's what it produced..

can NOT show a better scent post set Luke! great post.

Excellent Red, you are an asset to the trapping community. Good job. Tom

thanks for the great info

looks good cowboy

great post

Excellent reply redneck cowboy !!

Set a 1.75 or a 5.50 and put beaver meat and some lure and their you go.

minker, whats a 5.50?

trapscats, you dont wear gloves??

No i dont

is that u in the vid. great vid though

I think Minker is either referring to a KB 5.5, which has compound levers, or else an MB 550. I have never tried the 5.5, but I love my 550s and would recommend them to anyone.

trapscats...wearing gloves will greatly help you in catching canines.

k9 do u wear rubber gloves??

I dont believe in gloves and yes that is me in the video.Where I trap is contaminated with so much human and steel scent,I really dont think it matters.Its a powerline where it seems the whole freakin community wants to throw their trash.

i was just giving a hint, you may want to try it...all it takes are clean jersey gloves.
