Ok. The fox job I did this spring resulted in 8 raccoons and zero fox
Starting it back up this week, the food base is quite diminished , use to see chipmunks and squirrels all over at this job. They are almost nonexistent now
Any and all advise welcome
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

What limitations on traps do you have? Cages only? Can you use footholds or snares? What traps and bait or lures did you try in the spring. If trapping fails, can you use calling as a tool? What is the property lay out that your working? Kurt Temple

I'm sticking with cages as neighbors domestics come on property, I used fox pee, dead mice dead chipmunks, and canine commercial baits
Property I 9 acres in middle of lakeside houses and other house, about 3 acres around house is maintained yard
Customer request no shooting as it is in a developed area

It is 9 acres, first it was seen chasing cat, then cat got killed (not positive obviously that was done by fox) two adults have been recorded on property. No luck finding den. She said since a new dog ()she's not sure who owns it) has been coming in yard she did not see it for a while but now they have returned
