I'm with Bronson. A rapid introduction of lead works well in this case.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

A fox will many times kill just for the sake of killing and not eat what it kills. I have shot many of them at night getting after my chickens. Sometimes there would be 15 chickens slaughtered and uneaten. I have also shot many Bobcats, Coyotes & other critters that wanted to get in the coop.

trapping gray fox
bury a windup alarmclock in a zip lock bag about 1/4" deep set a #1 steel trap on top of it and bait with a littlechicken tied to a stick about 18" above the trap he can't resist keep in mind putting boards around the trap so you won't catch the dog or the chickens
