That's what foxes do. Kill your stock and that's why they need to be
controlled in some way. The only fox control for the moment is

hunting.


If you have a fox at your livestock you sit up all night and shoot it.
My neighbour did just this and shot 3 in a week, all the hunt does is
distribute the foxes round the countryside.
If you don't want to do this yourself there are plenty of sports hunters

out
there who will do it for you for nothing.


It would be illegal in my garden.

How wide/long is your garden? How far is the furthest part of your garden
from your nearest neighbour?
It is impossible to miss a fox in a live catch trap with a 22 rifle pointing
downwards. Not a good idea though, to try it by staying up at night to shoot
a free one, those bullets can travel 2 miles if you miss.
You need my foxman, Mary, he's a dying breed.
