Any suggestions on how to make your snare differentiate between foxes, badgers, small deer, hares whatever?
The legislation, as I understand it, places the onus on not deliberately attempting to catch Schedule 6 animals.
So a snare near a chicken coop would be fair game, but one near a sett or on a path (and badger paths are damned obvious) wouldn't be.
I am not a lawyer, and I think snares are extremely unpleasant. But some kinds are legal. And I wasn't suggesting an air rifle as a sensible way of killing a Fox above.
wire spring cage, bigger than a squirrel one, that way you can check what you have then drop it in a water butt for 30mins.
job done.
Looks like the fox isn't the only species which kills for 'fun' 😕

The only way you'll kill a fox with an air rifle is to turn it round and use the butt, i would have thought.

Deer. 😀
Farmers kill chickens.
Can I snare farmers ?
Is it illegal to snare an escaped labrat and beat it a few times with the back of an axe? Just to keep it quiet like...

I once read a book about this, although it rather took the side of "Mr. Fox" saying that he was "fantastic". i dont think i could kill fantastic mr. fox 😉
