any way, got a cage and relocated as i was advised to do, all legal like.

now i have blood trails at the back door, something new for me, so rang the ranger, seems he confirmed my assumptions. and me being the possum guy he was a bit more forthcoming, interesting conversation on the habits of the fox in urban areas. i have some ideas may give them a go.
Ma exsplane why the boys Hamsters sometimes do not wake up in the morning

no rules. but then there is things like, discharging a firearm in a built up area, or the Australian equivalent. humanly dispatch etc

my first though was stack a snare, over a couple of weeks plus bating until my smell was gone and then set it. but apparently that's a no no because its not a kill

that means a cage, and i believe fox's are to smart for a cage

I heard on the radio once about someone trying to catch some smart foxes, they would not take dead bait. So he loaded up some chooks with Valium, foxes ate the chooks , slowed down, & whack.

Obviously some logistics involved.

and illegal,
Live bate, poor chickens.
drudging an animal, SPCA would be all over you on that.
misuse of drugs, Valium is not a chook medication.
inhuman kill , whacking a fox is not a human dispatch.- poor fox must have suffered

etc etc, this is Australia

Why is that? the government should be encouraging people to wipe these piece of **** animals right out before any more native species become endangered.

Australia is right up there when it comes to animals being added to the endangered list.More need's to be done,but the bleeding hearts **** things right up.
