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
