Suburban Fox Trapping - 10/04/12 01:24 AM
Hi guys. I am fairly new to this field. I have fur trapped all my life, and I just started nuisance work when I got certified in March. In Maryland, you have to test into ADC work. I have stayed busy enough since March. I farm full time, and am doing this on the side.
I am full of questions, needless to say, and I think I have found the appropriate place to ask them. We have a great population of red fox in this area. I am on the eastern shore of MD, in a very rural, farmland area. Throughout this rural area, though, are developments. I get calls about raccoon, skunks, fox etc. in these developments about twice a week on average. The skunks, raccoon, and squirrels are being picked up in live traps easily. However, I am having a hard time getting the fox in these developments. I am trying live traps with dirt in the bottom and having some success, but I would like to know how you guys handle suburban fox problems. (Without using footholds.)
Thanks Guys. - John
