To trap the fox I use a number 4 trap. I usually provide a place to set these traps two or three weeks or a month before time to trap. My favorite place is to go to a small stream or spring and choose a place where there is no bank; take a how and dig a place in the side for the trap, so that the water will be one and a half inches deep when the trap is set. Place some sod on the pas so as to be level with the remaining shore. Then I procure another piece of sod that has long grass on it. This I place about twelve inches from the shore in the water. The sod should protrude a little above the water. After making everything natural, I leave the place. In a few days I return and place the bait on the little island and within the tall grass. It is a good policy to sprinkle water all over the set before you leave it the first day. Any bait will do.
