mac266 OP trapper M Joined: Nov 2012 Colorado	I have a fox-sized trap and I live rurally on 5 acres. I'm surrounded by 5 acre horse properties and we're just outside of a forest. There are foxes and coyotes around (although I don't think my trap is big enough for a coyote). What's the best way to hide and bait it? Mac

Make sure to check all the laws. Trap tags are required in every state as far as I know. I am sure there are many more. Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.
