Funny Softpoint. Sorry you lost the trap, though.
I have had problems for years with fox and possums. I guess most of you have too. One big solution for possums has been a cubby and Conibear trap that has thinned them quite a bit. I don't like to shoot the fox if I can help it, so maybe this new revolving light will help. If not then hopefully I will just have some fun. Hope I don't scare off coyotes, though.
Here is an example of a red fox a few years ago that kept stealing the bait. He would pack his mouth full and then carry the bait up to the hay field and bury it, then return for more. Not only did he keep the alarm pegging all night, but he would also deplete the bait. On top of that, the bait would then be up in the field away from the sensors, so any coyote that might come by could get it without alerting me.
The gray fox video was taken recently. Wildflights, that was not heavy breathing, but laughter on the gray. LOL. He ran so fast I thought he would skin himself.
Both videos were done with my home-made night vision unit.
