In my area of Central Pennsylvania we are overrun with fox. The pheasant population is practically non-existant; rabies & distemper are recurring problems. I suggest that this is the unintended consequence banning leg traps. Yeah, they may have been cruel, but how else are you going to control the population of a nocturnal predator?

When I was a kid (here we go...) the local furriers would purchase pelts from the locals who ran trap lines. I don't know anybody who traps anymore.

Sounds like an opportunity for fox-hunting tourism!!!!

Clearly you people need a pack of good crossbred foxhounds and a professional huntsman.
