this is made to be just like the coons version of this post. that is a great post from which i learned alot from. so hopefully i will be able to learn alot more and hopefully it will help out us beginners. who knows even you experienced fox guys might learn something new. so post pictures of sets, how theyre made, all that kind of stuff. and another thing id like to see out of this post is more about location.
thanks

I will be watching this one. I have been trying to catch a fox all last season and this season, and still havnt caught one.

What species of fax are you targeting. For Reds, you need to look for sign in basically the same places you would look for coyotes. Crop edges, Points, field roads, outside corners of fields. intersections on roads, etc.

Look for prominent objects that fox will key in on as scent markers. I like to drag logs or large rocks on crop edges to make post sets on. Lots of eye appeal works to get them to investigate the object and your lures draw them in closer. I also like farm lane intersections as bic mentioned. Fox and coyote use the path of least resistance and will travel these lanes. Use the wind to your advantage.

Gray fox location would be in brushy, covered areas, they dont like the open fields as much as a red would, they are also the only canine that can climb trees

yep, reds loves the fields!!

bic im targeting both, just trying to learn some more.
thanks

Gray is the easest one to catch for me make a dirt hole and guide heavy if you are on sign he will be there and once you catch one reset to catch the mate.

i havent trapped them but found 4 dens this summer along old rail road grades (with out rails) i think they like hunting on them

they wont be there more than likely, they only use den to give birth..

Then where do they sleep the other 364 days of the year?

k9 i found 4 this summer but last winter i wasnt into trapping i found 1 fox den and a hill behind my uncles pasture with 3 big coyote holes with dead rabbit and deer alover it there were also coyote track alover it im going to trap ip maby this weekend

do deer sleep in dens? where do they sleep? like coyotes, the fox will take cover in small thickets..etc.

So fox will only stay in a hole for a couple days of the year?

Anybody else have any thoughts on this?

They are in them longer than a couple days.

nice pics, love the trail cam of him eating the trap lol

lol

Will a MB 550 hold a fox effectivly.
