Mikerthebiker, you may be able to obtain a depredation permit from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission. There are ways to shoot a fox WITHOUT getting into trouble. Check out www.agfc.com and you will find what you need. I had a similiar situation last year and was able to shoot the hell outta foxes on our property, among other wildlife. Just make sure you CYA before hand because the consequences will, not can, be very harsh.

Live traps can be bought at most Farmers co-op's. Any type of meat works well as bait. Those little cans of fish are real smelly. Game and fish should relocate them when caught.

I have two (2) foxes, one (1) Silver Fox, and one (1) Red Fox on my property that I want to be rid of. Any one know how to get them out of my hair? I am told it is "illegal" to shoot them!

Don't adopt from the wild! Yet if you want a coon, skunk, fox or bobcat that is where you have to get it. You can't buy them from a breeder here like other states. Just another market that can't work here
