THE FOX. 75 



It has from two to six young once a year, 

 generally in the month of May. 



As bait for the fox, use fresh rabbits, birds, 

 or fowls of any kind in small pieces ; save the 

 blood of the rabbit or fowl, using it the same 

 day you get it in order that it may be fresh. 

 After catching one fox, save its urine, and go 

 to their dung hills that are fresh, and mix the 

 dung and urine, making a thin mush of them. 



In hunting the fox, go along the stream 

 near the top of the bluff or bank, and look for 

 the tracks of the fox and for holes that are 

 large enough for it to live in. On finding 

 holes recently inhabited you will also see trails 

 leading to the water and to little knolls where 

 the fox leaves its dung. 



You will also find trails leading to logs that 

 lie across streams and serve the fox as bridges 

 for crossing. 



Set one trap on the trail that runs to the 

 water, hiding it nicely and making it fast to a 

 stake on one side of the* trail ; drive the stake
