Well actually it was more of an educated guess. This was the first year I tried to catch a fox and I read that they used the edge of fields for roads... If you were to walk straight out of the woods, there is a small field bordered by a road, so to prevent people from seeing it I had to make the set just inside the woods. Plus that's were our property ends and our house is not too far up the left of there, so I had to put it as far away as I could. I had aslo seen some rabbits and mice around and I figured alot of hungry foxes might be attracted to the area...even though I had never even seen a fox or tracks around there, it felt like a good spot. I actually caught 4 foxes in that area.

You've explained pretty well what I've been trying to get across to some of the newbees.
You used your knowlege of the critters habits and didn't just set a trap in hopes the critter would stumble into it.
The animal had a reason to be there.
The critters were using the edge of the field as a road and there was food around.

Congratulations great pictures.
