      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      The foxes have returned to the barn. They are accessing all the same holes/dens plus have dug one new one. I haven't seen the critters but the construction must have started a few days ago, probably at night. Smoke and pee-pee only appears to last for so long.

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      After my son was attacked and bit by a rabid fox years ago, we had a trapper set these cage traps around. All we ever got was opossums over and over again. Every day another possum.

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      Thank you for that. I had your post in mind when we were out there today and so we tended the fires. They really do burn very hot!

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      Today we made a move. We found the real den next to the barn. This was NOT the groundhog's original home. This was a new den that went away from the barn underground. We smoked it and filled it in with the dirt they had removed. We filled in the rest of the groundhog holes around the barn. We...

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      Hmmm. Snare traps and foothold traps appear to be illegal in Montgomery county. http://www.eregulations.com/maryland/hunting/furbearer-hunting-trapping/ DNR is telling me that the trapping permit they can give me for nuisance fox is only for the cage trap that they say fox will NOT go into...

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      So that's a .22 rifle with a scope AND a 20 ga shotgun at the same time! Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks for that option. That's new to me. When the fox is in front of the barn, I would rather try and use the rifle so as to not spray the barn with shot. Is it heavy? Like the weight of both at...

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      Understood. Thanks for the clear info. The rules seem pretty clear regarding the firearm itself: "Legal to discharge up to .25 NO FULL METAL JACKET." I am going to apply for a nuisance permit as others have suggested so I don't have to to wait for 'fox season'. It's always gonna be fox...

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      Thanks for that: https://www.southernstates.com/catalog/product/p-367-revenge-rodent-smoke-bomb-4pk We will try this to start to get them to go away for now. I assume, they will be returning soon though. By then we should be prepared to shoot them. There are dens all over the place around...

      Shooting fox vermin on our farm?

      We live outside the urban area in Montgomery county MD on a small farm. Recently foxes have invaded our main barn and have taken over from the ground hog. They are raising young (3-4 pups). The foxes dig so much it is damaging the barn foundation. They bring kill back to eat and it rots...
