I use cull roosters as bait. (kill them first).

I built a large cage trap with a sliding drop door which would drop down if anything touched the bait which was attached to the wire holding the door up. Unfortunately foxes are very cunning and I have never caught one, but have caught a few feral cats. I think the only foxes you will catch in cage traps are young silly ones.

After that failed I bought 2 leg hold traps with rubber coated jaws. Since I bought them I have caught 5 foxes near the chook yards. I bought them from "get trapped" http://www.gettrapped.com/

I use the bridger rubber jaw traps and much more affective than the wire cage trap that fails 90% of the time

Not all are the same quality some the jaws are not strong or poor rubber used. I have not used victors but they sound like they work well

Ok well if the cage trap continues to fail as it is so far I will get rid of it and try the jaw trap and see how they go. Thanks

Are the jaw traps legal in Victoria? I was told they are not?
