First Catch
 

This is my first fox!!
My brother David,10, likes to trap with me, so this year I taught him how to make a dirthole set.I used red fox glands from a trappers supply,and red fox urine.I didn't expect to catch anything, but was a little disapointed to find the trap empty the first day,but the second day I, as well as my brother, was very surprised to find a grey fox in our trap. The picture is of me (l) and my brother (r) David. :D

Thats a pretty nice little fox and good luck on getting more guys .

ALLright !! Way to go.
Congratulations.
just

another fox
 

Here's another grey fox we caught. About 2 weeks after the first one.

My first coyote

What type of traps do you use?

Way to go Guys

Clean up the skulls for collectors like me!.

I like those little fox - ship me one so I can taxidermy it - we have a few in this state but not many.

Nulle- If you're interested in mounting a fox I would sell you one ($10). I studied a little bit about taxidermy myself, I like to tan furs but I never tried to mount something.


Blktail- I use 1 1/2 to a 1 3/4 duke coilspring and stake them with rebar. This coyote was not too big but the 1 1/2 held him tight (i was trying to catch a fox with that trap). :D
And I try to clean up all the skulls, but I shoot them with a .22 LR in the head, so sometimes the bottom of the skull is blown out a little.

speaking of skulls, i have one from a black bear burried in the backyard now. trouble is, all the skull i have are damaged due to the finishing shot. a 41mag at point blank does some nasty damage.

I will send ya a pm on the fox

Fifth Fox
 

Another grey fox I caught today.

Congrats there young man! What is your total catch so far ?

Thats a nice one for sure .

So far I've caught:

5 grey fox

2 coyote (one was a road kill)
2 possum
1 skunk

This is the first year I've set traps for fox and coyote! :D

This is a picture of a road kill coyote, I picked it up coming home from church. The skin was really nice, but who ever hit it cut off the tail.:mad:
