I had the trap set the other night, trying for a feral tomcat that’s been harassing my cats. Got up in the morning and the food in the trap was gone and the door was down, but the trap was empty. Hmmm. How’d a cat or coon do that. Next night there was a fox standing next to the trap. I’m thinking that the Fox, being longer bodied, must have have blocked the door from locking down.

A pair of foxes has been hanging around the house during the night. We’ve seen them a couple of times. Where were they when I wanted something to kill the neighbor’s roosters?

set a foot trap at the entrance of the live trap . it works well for me.

That Fox was in the front yard this morning. Good looking critter. No white tip on the tail. I’d have pictures, but the wife’s camera batteries were dead.

Well if you have opossums they will go in, eat and leave w/o disturbing a thing. I also have light-footed cats around that can sneak in and out w/o setting off the trap.

Well the nerve of her not to have fresh batteries in her camera. I'm sure you told her about it too. This has happened to me a time or two also, but I didn't say anything to my wife about it.
