Wow talk about a success with your trap. Every time it snows here the following day there are always a single set of fox prints that does a circuit of each of my 3 sheds before wandering off up the hill. Thankd Goodness I haven't forgotten the shut the chickens in!

Well done to you and i hope things calm down for you.

Foxes, as I am sure you know, are creatures of habit - but if one is taken out another quickly moves in. So I am not sure if I am pleased or horrified. I live in the centre of town and the fox population is both huge and bold and hunts by day and by night. I just wonder how many more are coming round. My next move is to put an electric fence around the area when my stock are. I have 6ft larch lap fences all round and have already cleared it with my neighbours. Have just had a look round 11pm, the snow has gone during the evening so no tracks but the trap reeks of fox so maybe I'll get another.

Re the tanning of rabbit skins. I use Alum and it works really well. I then use neatsfoot oil on the leather to make them softer. It is quite hard to get Alum now as you used to be able to get it from the chemist, but not any longer. A tanning supplies shop online will be able to send you some.
With three lurchers, you can imagine we get a lot of skins!!!
