It’s true though. The power is that from another world. Legend has it, The Colonel sold his soul to Mephistopheles in exchange for a chicken recipe more powerful than his competitor lobbies of tobacco and alcohol. It is said this deal was struck on a full moon in the middle of an Indian burial ground. His hair went as white as his suit like he was standing in front of “the dead lights”. Once every thousand years Colonel can return to feed off of this chicken.
I'm here before I loose one of my chickens. Their coop is built like a maximum security prison but a fox may be crafty enough to break in. SO HE MUST GO!
Groudhogs, rabbits, and squirrels are wary of human pheromones. Your predators like opossums, skunks, foxes, feral cats, etc will often go right in a trap for a meaty treat. Canned catfood, sardines, greasy chicken, cooked hamburger meat, bacon will draw some in. Ive even caught skunks on peanut butter. They are very olfactory-guided and that smell to them is like crack to a junkie.
I have that same exact trap. It worked well until I caught a 20 lb raccoon. It bent the metal under the trigger plate and the trap wouldn't work. It took a while, but we got it fixed.
I was expecting you to shoot it like most would. You deserve my respect. I came here because I want to see if there are any foxes around my house so I might use this.
PixelatedLynx killing is actually the best thing, releasing it just allows for the problem to restart, but people are pussies. This fox is now an intruder to any other foxes in that habitat, and now the fox is looking for a new house to disrupt. Fox's are scavengers
What do you have to do to catch a baby fox since the mother was killed and we are trying to catch it and raise it until it is big enough for it to be released but we can't get it to trust us enough to help it until it gets a little bit bigger
*If its you alone setting the trap: place the meat in the trap:bend the wire to hold it in place : hold the trap above your head: then continue wrapping the wire*
How large is the trap? Large is 32" and is around $80, and X-Large 42" around $150. We might need it only once to trap a skinny fox. We're afraid that it will not survive living around the campus this coming winter.
Id go 42" as foxes run bigger than skunks, etc. I have a 32" that I've caught skunk, possum, stray cat in. 32" may hold a small fox, but they are wary creatures and may be reluctant to enter a tighter enclosure. Better your trap be a little larger than too small.

My question is can you catch and own a fox in Florida, I know you can own them here and there are lot where I live since. Idk if you have have buy then tho or if I can just catch one.
Always admired fox until it wiped out 6 laying hens early spring and since each day we’ve lost more, 39 out of 60 smaller chicks and chickens destroyed this summer. Very beautiful animals but it’s trap and dirt nap time. Even my children understand it’s destruction to their beloved animals which bless our homestead. Thanks for the video
Roger that, here in southern NSW Australia fox’s are everywhere they recently audited and took a bunch of my chooks and I’ve got a trap with kfc set tonight on the inside of chook shed at the Bob hole inlet. Hope it works. How did you get on? Catch any foxs? On a side note we used to have a bounty on foxs and it hammered there numbers big time. But some dopey policy decided not to keep on with that.
@@fanatamon shot one recently and trapped another. We must have several families of them in the area. I’ve improved our fencing and no longer free range until they’re under control. Trapping has peaked my interest and it’s legal for nuisance animals on my property. It was encouraging to finally get one. Motivation to continue with new harbored zeal.
@@fanatamon it took a bit. I’m brand new to trapping. This fox killing chickens started in spring and I didn’t set traps until late summer. It took until late fall. I’m not consistent, however, due to our outdoor cat and free range animals. We’d put them in the coop and barn for a few days while I set traps, then out again (mostly the cat). This lure “Cavin’s” seemed to work well when I was advised to use it.
@@66ECHO yeah for sure I’ve shot heaps and trapped a few in rabbit traps. But never used a dog trap. I reckon I’m going to make a fox proof cage inside the chick coop with the chickens in it and foxy can make it’s way in and just booby trap the shit out of the area so it won’t get wise to the trap or even set up a trail camera activated to set off a trap door once a fox goes in.
Chicken is the best fox bait out there because it's their preferred food. It works nearly 100% of the time. Anybody that raises chickens can tell you that the biggest threat they face is predation from foxes. We're sure there are other baits that will work but when we find a winner, we stick with it. We have only caught (and released) red foxes but it should work for any type of fox.
Yeah , tell me about it. I've setup the trap(s) and caught everything but the fox(es). They've always outsmarted me. I spotted one a couple days ago and missed it with my crossbow while it was watching my free-range chickens.
I released one this morning, trapper used dead chicken as bait.. He was going to shoot it but i offered to relocate it .. It was the lesser of 2 evils I suppose.. good luck lil' fox
Jack Bits Dude, make a fence for them to roam inside, and no fox will get them, only watch out for hawks if you have a lot like my grandma, but if you don't have much then just build a small fence with a roof and done
Yeah, unless you're using an electric fence there is not guarantee that you are keeping the chickens safe. Just a fence itself isn't going to keep them out. At least around here that doesn't work. But there are ways of protecting the chickens without shooting the fox. We've had one watching us for a while now. We just change up our routines and keep the electric fence on. To keep the hawks away we run a lot of colored twine across the area over the electric netting. The hawks need a rather large area to swoop down so they won't mess with them if they see the twine there.
It'll work just fine for small to medium coyotes but they are pretty wary and usually don't get caught in cage traps. Foothold traps are what get coyotes. We sell those too. www.jarrodspestproducts.com/products/duke-1-12-coil-spring-trap-with-rubber-jaws
Use the fried chicken like they did. The grease has a strong attractant quality. Oily and greasy fish/meat is like heaven to skunks so would have to imagine it would be the same for foxes.
@@bigverybadtom Good call, I didn't really know they had the non-injure kind but I see the difference now. I don't know much about foxes but I contacted this rescue group and they told me to just wait, that it will likely move on. And it did. Haven't seen it again.
I've got one up on my property here in Alabama. It looks pretty rough, it's tail is like one big dreadlock. And it fights an imaginary friend, lays down for a little bit and then pops back up angry fighting literally nothing at all. Not sure what that's all about but I'm pretty sure he terrorizes my cat because my cat won't stay in my yard anymore. He is either in the house or he will go next door and hang in their yard.
You are putting ideas into peoples heads,why can’t people just leave them alone,they are not hurting anyone we are the ones hurting them by taking all their spaces.
Dang. Can't believe you guys are grabbing the bait and cage with bare hands. Doesn't that deter the fox? Also, seems like you got pretty lucky catching the fox and not a possum, racoon, badger, etc?
Scent doesn’t deter them. They will go on property even if they smell that a large dog lives there. They can smell the dogs pee and poop, the dog walking, the humans walking and touching things, they don’t get deterred.
Gray Taylor if you can read read this. Endangered species have been killed by a fox on a rampage at Busbridge Lakes. Devastation was found at the nature reserve on Monday (March 28) after a tree fell on a fence during Storm Katie, allowing the fox to sneak in. The fox remains at large on the vast site and is still carrying out attacks. The popular attraction in Busbridge, Godalming was forced to close on Wednesday (March 30) as the owners attempted to look for the animal. Fleur Douetil, owner of Busbridge Lakes, said: "The fox has got in and we don’t know where it is. "We are picking up bodies everywhere. "I am devastated, these are very rare birds. "It is killing the endangered species and it will go on killing. "It will be doing damage wherever it is." So far the fox has claimed the lives of three oystercatcher birds, rare geese and wildfowl. Mrs Douetil, who has owned the site since 1966, said on Wednesday: "We have had to close to the public today but we are intending to open on Thursday, without a doubt.
And it will. Wild animals are incredibly adaptable. Foxes are wily and resourceful. In a wooded area, there will be plenty of small prey items like rodents, birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc.
They were. They relocated the animal rather than dispatched it. Skunks should not be released honestly. As bad as the smell is, they are bad rabies vectors and a nuisance animal that can make its way into shockingly small spaces around your home which makes them an increased risk of encountering pets or children.
@@geniusme707 They are also a known rabies vector. They don't carry it often as much as skunks or raccoons, but still best not to have them around homes/farms.
