We spent a little time today setting a live trap for the fox that has been stealing eggs, chickens, and turkeys. The kids had fun helping to camouflage the trap with sticks, grass, etc. Hopefully we will find a well fed grey fox in it by morning.
For bait I decided to use fish, a can of sardines in fact. The open can should produce a good aroma to draw the fox in. After all, who can resist the smell of sardines?
