Ok here's what I have. Been asked to handle a chicken coop situation. Coop had 6 chickens of various sizes, 1 remains. Rest vanished. No blood, no abundance of feathers- just This leads me to conclude it was probably fox or coyote. I THINK the door may have been ajar as there is no signs of digging or really any good way to get in. The local DNR officer hooked me up with a nice big live trap, he had suggested coni's etc but because of pets in area I wanted to try live first.
I have set it in door entrance with sides and top blocked so only one way in. NOW I need bait suggestions assuming the culprit will come back. There is a chicken currently in the back of the coop but wondering if anyone has suggestions as to how I can sweeten the pot as I REALLY wanna see what did this.
Would sit in the back of the coop with an AR and the Foxpro but I work mornings;-)
 
find the nasty smelling meat you can find. fish,beef,chicken,anything. coyotes usually won`t bother with it if they are healthy, but a fox or bobcat don`t mind cage traps. fresh meat will work also, let it sits for a couple of days if you don`t have any luck the first day.
