I've caught a ton of Red's in Williams 12x12 cages. Should work just as well for Grey's. Not sure this is true

Ok so will a grey fox walk into a 10 by 12 in a natural setting without being forced in Yes, especially if the trap is baited as was shown in the previous picture of the pigeon as bait. I have caught many gray fox with both meat baits and fruit baits. I have a trail cam video of trapping a gray fox in my back yard. It consists of about twenty 30 second clips over a few days. I don't how to post on YouTube. Try setting out a couple of trail cams over relocated road kill or beaver carcasses if legal in Arkansas. You may be surprised at what shows up. Alabama has no closed season (during daylight hours) for hunting of bobcat, coyote, fox, and feral swine. There is a special license available for nighttime hunting of feral swine and coyotes restricted to certain times and places..

Greys are far from picky when it comes to openings. I catch 6-10 every year in plasti-catches especially when fencing grubbing skunks/coons. If i was going to target greys only, I would run 8-10 wide 12 tall and 30 long.
