Fox's are few and far between in my area but are starting to come back around, and I noticed I have a couple running around the property I trap. Anyone have any good tips on what sets to run and what bait/urine/lure as well? Thank you for your help!

Dirt holes, and good red fox urine and any name brand lure. I prefer gland-based lures over food lures. I don't use bait.

Dirt hole set with Violator #7 or Leggetts k9 exciter. Both are awesome.

Flat set and cat food. No lure needed. Foxes are easy.

Cat food? Really? Wet or dry? Friskies or Meow Mix? Dead serious. Caught them on lots of stuff but not cat food. Caught a few in a flat set placed for coons baited with vanilla, peanut butter and marshmallows but cat food never crossed my mind.

Dirt hole, Rd-fx, and anything fried for bait.

Can’t use cat food here. They get all they want off the decks in the developments. lol

I think cat food would catch a lot of non-targets. That's why I don't use any bait, to avoid possums, coon, skunks and others. We still catch them but at a much reduced rate over using any sort of bait.

Although a food-based lure could be considered bait.

Set for coyote and the fox will visit.
This time of year I always use bait, or should I say in this weather. Not near as many possums or skunks out right now. I use bait all season and deal with the other critters as they come. Apple Road horse meat is one of my best producers here.

Fox prices are dirt low. Good time to bypass and let them rebuild if you have other options.
