They cage pretty easy from what I've read on it. Watched some youtube on it as well, they go right in.

Cascade Red Fox are considered a seperate subspecies in some circles. WDFW used to have them listed seperately then they went to one species. Read some stuff on trying to get them listed as seperate again. Pretty cool color on them.

Post by: saylean on November 22, 2013, 09:41:04 AM: Awesome pic! I am currently using the trap I bought from you and something keeps yanking my bait! I used the 'burry the bait' trick you mentioned...i've even had the bait stolen and trap tripped without catching it (I am not knocking this trap at all, by the way, Ilove it and would buy another in a heart beat). I am setting up a trail camera tonight to see if its a coyote or what (which is what i believe it is).

Can you tell me what bait your dad was using and specifically, was it wired to the back, burried, etc? Just curious!

Thanks for posting again.

Post by: bob maier on November 22, 2013, 11:47:22 AM: boss 300, Im gonna disagree w you on fox being more wiley than a coyote. your not gonna see as many coyotes in cages as fox. just my opinion but coyotes are pretty paranoid.

Last fox pic I posted everyone wanted to know what a fox says. I thought it was a joke as all I could say is what does a fox say and I had that stupid music video pasted onto my post. :yike:
