If it was a red fox that had a narrow escape, I doubt he'll be back to that set. I'm not that familiar with gray fox to know for sure. However, I doubt that a fox could ever escape from a #2 Bridger unless one was barely nipping the tips of their toes. If this is what happened, you are doing one of two things incorrectly. There is either not enough pan tension so the trap is springing before the fox is getting any weight down on it foot or the trap is bedded too high up so the animal has too little weight on its foot when it feels the trap pan giving and has time to pull back resulting in toe catches or complete misses. I always like to keep my trap bed at least 1/2 inch lower than ground level as it keeps toe catches and snapped traps to a minimum. :grin: Ace
