It's working for me. Those large tins of very cheap and nasty dog food seem to be very desirable. I grab a spoon and dig into the ''food'' chopping it up into tiny pieces and then flinging it in the general direction I want them to go for safe shooting. [Over two weeks recently I recently moved one fox off a crown road and well into my property to where he could be safely shot by gradually moving the feeding ''station'' 50-75 feet each night.] I make sure that the pieces are very small as my trail camera pictures showed that large pieces attract magpies and crows which would come in and knock off the pieces. Essentially I just want to give the foxes a sniff and a tiny taste. Off course I do have the time, living on the property. One of the good things about baiting for me is that it gives me lots of time to set up shots as the blighters search around in a smallish area for bits of food. I'm not up to shooting moving targets at present.
