Trying to catch a few fox on our property to protect the chickens and have only succeeded in catching two rabbits so far.

Today, Little Rabbit Foo Foo got two feet stuck in a 1.75 CS and the set location is a bloody mess. Should I make a new set elsewhere or block that area off and set a little outside the messy area? Thanks in advance.

Rub the blood off the trap with some grass or dirt and re set.

Re set trap, skinned Bugs, put him in freezer for bait next season ( ends next Saturday). Found the rabbits' trail, blocked it off.

I would have chopped up Bugs and used him as bait. I’ll pick up road killed rabbits as well. Even caught a cat on a rabbits foot shoved down a pipe, lol!

First rabbit is bait, was using a dead chicken as bait before. Rabbits just hopped into the set twice.

I caught a rabbit in a fresh set this year. Tore him up pretty bad. Wiped the trap off best I could and caught two coyotes in that set in the following 10 days.
