Quit skimping on the hay. Nice double!

I don't mean to hijack this with a SERIOUS question, but do you usually set that tight to large objects? I am FAR from an expert canine trapper but I have never had good luck getting red fox to get in that tight. It seems like they get spooky and I have had better luck back 10-15 feet.

Got a couple 50 yds from there out in the wide open on the farm lane... farmer said they were digging in his bales, so........... Here's a no brainer... farm lane, manure shed, crop edge...

Earlier pic coop?  No snow?  On the De border here there’s probably 7-8” yet if the snow geese haven’t torn it down to bear earth.

I've caught maybe a dozen reds in 220s set in baited hay stacks set for coon.

Set on sign, if you are blind setting those big bales I might agree to stay back, but if tracks, turds, digging show up, they can be caught.  I am slow sometimes, but not once I see the sign I want. I agree completely!  Everything you’ve described shouts they’ve become accumulated to working the bales.  I’ve seen it with junk cars years ago.

You did good.  I'm not a canine trapper but have caught a few reds in my life.  I loved catching them over a yote.

Mud... pics from maybe 2 -3 weeks ago... I pulled the day before the snow for the year. I drive to every set, 90% farm lanes... try to not make a mess, keeps people happy. That's the 1st appreciable snow we've had in over 3 years according to local meteorologist. DE opened their fox season a month earlier this year, Nov. 1. It gave us a lot more leeway and I didn't hear 1 complaint from deer hunters.

I would have thought that’s too early down here but maybe not.. I still had some with slatey leather until about two weeks back.  Only one rubbed bad that looked like she’d been that way for awhile.
