#3's will hold fox

I usually make a species specific set. If I set on fox sign I use a 1 1/2. Miss more cats with a 1 1/2 though than you will with a 3. So if I set a cedar thicket where I found some pack rat nests I use a #3.

I like your bobcat posts. I have an idea what you mean by pack rat nest, but am not sure

I use a KB 5.5, caught several lions, it has 4 coils that are #1 coil spring equlivalent so you can set them over your knee, had several Bobcats by a hind leg no pullouts, coyotes stay caught! Really like these traps sad they aren't made anymore@#^!

I used MB550’s and 450’s 2 coils and have caught cats and fox in both. I prefer regular jaws vs offsets, offsets slip too much. I don’t care about foot damage too much because they all meet the same demise, but no sense in it if I can avoid it. Held cats by full pad and 1 toe in both traps. They all work. Both are fairly decent on fox as well.

Good traps indeed. Many of mine are 650s, but offset.

Unless y’all have a different species of fox, a 650 would be tough on fox. Sometimes a 550 is.
