Taking a leak is a waste of time, they quickly get used to the smell and reconize there is no danger associated with it. Same with any of the other wives tails that you hear: human hair from your barber, soap, dirty clothes with human smell. Think about it, your whole dooryard already stinks (to a fox) like humans, you think putting a little bit more human scent out there is going to do anything? On the other hand, human scent where it has no place being, like in the middle of the woods, snaps a fox to attention PDQ.
Your picture is showing just what I was saying in the other thread, Mr. Fox will be back again and again as well as Mr. Fox pacing the perimeter of the cage, looking for a way in. Even if Mr. Fox never breaks in for a meal, he will always stop for a visit and a look when he is in the hood. Its best to just set out some traps in the proper spots and get a good nights sleep. Not only is it hard to wake up to try to catch him, he knows you are there and you will never see him. If you do get lucky (really lucky), he will be in and out of your sight so quickly you may not even get a shot off. If you do get a shot off, its highly unlikely you will hit him. While its not impossable, its very hard because a fox is not alot bigger than a large cat once you shave down the fluffy fur on a fox. All that fur really messes up your aim, especially in the dark.
You might want to start a baiting program with dog treats. It gets the fox used to a quick and easy snack. Then in the future, you can easily set traps on the bait and catch him.
Whatever you do, good luck. You now have a regular visitor and the only way you could have a more determined and happy visitor is if he ever gets a free meal of chicken out of his visits. Even now, the only way to stop the fox from coming in is to kill him.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
