To me they seem to be a lot more tolerable Of ppl. You can catch the adults fairly easy in A cage trap! Once you get the mom you will get The pups! Also look up in the tree when your there Sometimes the mom will look over the den from up In the tree!

I am guessing that you will catch the whole Family before they decide to move, good thing is That they should be old enough to be self sufficient By now if you plan to release them! Did you positive Set for them or Have baited cages?

Greys seem to be the dumbest animal around here. I've caught them on marshmallows. A little long call past the pan gets them too. A positive set and the foxpro with grey fox distress makes for quick work.

The first grey I ever caught was on a bait that I made of chunked groundhog soaked in a mix of molasses, syrup and honey. Even caught them on mini donuts(there ya go LT).

block off the deck to force trap them in a colony trap/ excluder set up. I looked at it again today Bob because I was thinking the same thing but the obstacles around the deck will not allow me to fence it off for a positive set. I am actually going to enjoy trapping these guys the old fashion way. It is something different and after 5 months of nothing but raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and woodchucks it is actually nice to have a change of pace.

I worked a grey fox job about a month ago. Had a family of greys live about 50ft out the back door of this guys house. the pup could almost give a care less that someone was there and the guy did not want his grandkids running up to pet the puppies. I used caged and soft catches with the soft catches getting all the action. I could not get them to go in to a cage.

If I had a fox ( any kind of a fox ) that wouldn't get caught in my Wickenkamps, I have another cage in mind. Maybe some of you might have heard of it; it's called a Comstock. If Nate takes his berries and trails them through a Comstock, ( Okay, first he has to get rid of 6 raccoons, 3 opossums, and a skunk, ) but then he should catch the fox, right?

Nate how did the job turn out? How many did You catch? I ended up with 2 kits before they moved to another yard. They just started returning to the customers yard the last couple days so I am going back tomorrow to reset.
