Predator: Attract foxes and martens
Foxes and martens are cautious, but their noses give them away. A strong, meaty smell draws them in from a long distance. Predator attractants help you make a bait point more appealing or keep a trap more effective. Especially on grounds with small game, ground nesting birds or poultry kept nearby, regular predator control is an important part of good game management.
Bait truffle for the bait point
The Leimüller bait truffle for foxes and martens comes in a 3 kg tub and suits a permanent bait point where you plan to sit over several weeks. Put it out in small portions, for example in a pipe, a hole in the ground or under a stone slab. That way the fox can smell it but cannot carry it all away in one go. It makes sure he comes back and stays at the spot for longer. Check the spot from a distance with binoculars or a trail camera so you leave as little scent as possible.
Fox attractant as a liquid scent trail
The Eurohunt fox attractant in a 500 ml bottle is liquid and easy to dose. A few drops on a post, stone or cloth guide the fox exactly towards your line of fire. Many hunters also use it to lay a drag line to the bait point or put it at a trapping site. Combine the scent with a mouse squeaker or rabbit distress call and you appeal to the fox's nose and ears at the same time. Always handle the bottle with gloves and store it well away from your hunting clothes.
Frequently asked questions
When is the best time for hunting foxes at a bait point?
In winter, when food is scarce and there is snow on the ground, foxes take to a bait point best. During the mating season in January and February they are also on the move a lot.
How do I keep dogs and cats away from the bait point?
Set it up away from paths and houses and put the attractant out so it is hard to reach. Also check the local rules on bait points.
Will the attractant draw martens into buildings?
It is meant for use out on your ground, not around the house or yard. So put it out well away from buildings to avoid drawing martens closer than necessary.
Bring foxes and martens to your bait point
Predators hunt with their noses and can be drawn in from a long way by a strong smell. For a permanent bait point, the bait truffle from Leimüller is a good choice; hide it in small portions under stones or in a hole in the ground. The fox can then scent it but cannot carry it all off at once, so he keeps coming back. Liquid fox attractant is put drop by drop on posts or cloths to steer the fox right into your line of fire. In winter and during the mating season foxes are especially active, which is when a well kept spot does the most for your small game. Set up the bait point away from paths and houses, with a clear view and a background that allows a safe shot. Add a mouse squeaker or rabbit distress call to the scent and you appeal to the fox's nose and ears at once.
