The flat set!!! So simple I didn’t think it would work! I've started using a lot more of them. I had the same thoughts.

Great job. You will indeed remember that one. It's been 48 years since I caught my first fox and even though I can't remember what I did yesterday sometime I still remember that morning like it was today. Congratulations young lady.
Life's too short, enjoy everyday like it was your last.

Nice work! Tanning or full mount?? I haven’t decided!! I’d kinda like to use my money for more trapping gear instead of spending on taxidermy..

nice catch if its a first you should get it tanned or mounted
The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

You should at least tan it. You'll never get another first fox.

Don't worry about the lure so much. It is the location that counts........jk The best of both will increase ur catch. At least on coyotes. I know nothing about fox trapping, maybe they are more gullible.

Fantastic, good hard work and dedication pays off
That spot will be good for another now. Nothing like a good smelly fox set to bring another one in.

Congratulations! You will never forget that one. I would at least tan that fox since it's your first.
The flat set is a consistent producer for me on fox.

Well how did the trapline go today ?. You had a little snow last night. I pulled them yesterday afternoon because I was honestly worried about the temp dip and the kitty cats in the area. I didn’t want what happened to my fox’s foot to happen to them. Season ends tomorrow here. I’m very happy tho and I am planning for next season. First item on my wish list is a Skunk Sleeper
