How to catch a fox?

I lost Junior the super rooster last night along with his girlfriend by a suspected fox......GRRRRrrrr....I am setting a baited trap and have a fox whistle to bring him out of hiding for a shot with the bow but am interested in any ideas you might have to help catch the mongrel........could of been a big cat? I didnt see what happened but heard Junior kicking the shit out of a cat (suspected pet)  2 days ago early morning and his girl had a few feathers missing.

RIP Junior

Local ranger has dropped off a trap and getting another for me....have trapped in his cages before, but I'm after alternative ideas (this is now a war, also took the neighbors peacocks) like baited shark hooks 4ft off the ground, tripping device with C4 explosives etc etc

Go to the Local gun shop and by a fox whilte and see if you can whistle it in. If it SAFE and LEGAL to do so then shoot it.  Alternatively a spot lighting session might be inorder!
