Tuna, canned cat food, sardines all work good.

Muskrat meat is hard to beat for fox if prepared right.

King Mackrel about 75 cents can and you can set at least 3 traps I use to mix nine lives cat food in the juice.

The old time fox trappers loved to use muskrat, horse and feral cat meat cut up in walnut size chunks and tainted.

If ya got cage traps, you can often have a grey fox waitn for ya in the morning. Just bait it with some apples and leave it. Mijght even come up with a bobcat! you know the old saying "curiosity killed the cat!" :lol:

I grew up trapping red and grey fox in Ohio. We always had a lot of success with lightly fried bacon in dirt hole sets, with a #2 coil spring trap. The cat meat idea should work well because I do know that the foxes definately kept the cat population in check. We actually raised red foxes and tried different foods put in the cage at the same time and they always went for the bacon first! Hope this helps
