I don't care which one... but I know I am not intending to catch a back foot. So, while I don't point out the back foot catch to the landowner... I know I have plenty of room for improvement when I catch a critter by a back foot. Richard

Occasion I will get a fox by the hind foot in a coyote set where I have the trap back further. Looks caught to me any way you slice it. Wish I had more time to trap....

Must've sat on the trap? Lol ouch Wasn't sure what was using the den hole, sat a #3 dbl long in front of the hole to find out. My guess is MR. Fox squatted when entering, exiting. Still makes me wince thinking about it
