OP, you got me. Why would somebody want to shoot a fox?
 Good pic and they mostly eat mice and other rodents. |

The coyote population has destroyed the number of foxes around here. I've started to see them again on occasion though.

I like foxes, neat animals. The best, in the wild, experience with a fox was in Alaska. Me and a buddy went moose hunting and setup a camp on the Yukon River near Circle.
Sitting around the campfire at night, drinking and snacking on smoked salmon, a fox walked into camp, really close to us and just sit down and watched us eat. We started tossing pieces of salmon to him and he would gobble them up and just sit there waiting for more. This was really cool being out in the wild and this little guy just made himself at home in our camp. |

That’s a good picture, OP.
Wifey and daughter saw a Fox (we have red ones here) chasing a puppy down the middle of our street a couple nights ago. Got out to try and get the puppy, but he ran back into his yard, so my daughter closed the gate and knocked on the front door to let the owners know. We know them, so it wasn’t weird. Later, saw the same fox (probably) sitting in a front yard across from the puppy house. We get them, and coyotes. Keeps the cat population under control, lol. |

Thanks, everyone!
I'm going to try and set up a similar shot tonight, but with video. I have a Ring camera right there, which is how I know they're there in the first place, but I want sharper/closer/color, more like the photo. Will be trickier I think, as the exposure on video is a lot less. Might try and add a small light out there if I can do so without scaring them off. I'll post an update if I can make it work. |

Shoot the greys
Let the real red foxes run free, they can't climb trees. I have seen a grey climb 15 feet up a big pine leaning maybe 5 off 90. |

Very cool OP. I have been camping many times when foxes and raccoons come right into camp, usually at meal time. Twice I've had foxes so close they could take food from my hand, but I didn't because I don't trust those rabid little bastards to not bite me. They sure are cute, though.

Neat.
There was a family of skunks living under my rear deck a couple years ago... at least a momma and three little kits. They were cute AF! I'd only ever see them right at dusk... and I only ever got one little video clip. |

Foxes are mean.
I was trying to trap some coyotes and ended up with a Red Fox. I really wanted to let him go to the point I was about to do something really stupid. I was going to throw a thick blanket over him and release his foot. I glad I came to my senses I would have probably seriously regretted it. I hated to do it but put him down with a .22 They can be pests but I do think their cool hated shooting that one. |

I’ve only seen one in the wild. Coyotes have ravaged them back east. They can club trees nearly as fast as a squirrel.

Our foxes carry the bubonic plague. They are curious suckers and families in the mountain hand feed them. When I trapped they were easy to target.

I've seen one in my life. Red foxes are a dime a dozen around home, the gray foxes are really, really rare.
The old people around home called the "cat foxes." I asked dad why and he said it was because they were so small. |

TBH, I prefer when the animal doesn't die. Especially a dog-ish animal.
I eat dead animal because I have to, not because I want to. |

I had a gray with a black face that lived by my house. He'd sneak below the deck for food scraps and think we weren't watching him. The grays are not nearly as destructive to poultry as the reds and so I usually don't shoot them.

31 years ago I got a grey in a dam crossover set for beaver or muskrat. I used my coat to hold him down and took the trap off his foot. I did seem him around and his tracks for a few years. He didn't limp and there was no torn skin, I think he must have just stepped in the trap.
But unfortunately that was before cameras. I was approaching in a canoe and the fog and him sitting on the dam, that was pretty |

Well, she's already back out there this evening eating some peanuts I tossed out there. I went and set my camera up again and will post video if it all works. My guess is she'll be back in an hour or two. They don't seem to get too rattled by my presence they just sort of trot off into our back woods.

Quoted: With my iPhone, that is. We have a family of gray foxes that hang out on our back patio every night. Last night I set my phone out on my patio, and hid in the shadows just inside of my back kitchen slider. Triggered the camera with a Bluetooth remote. Anyway, was pretty happy with this photo of one of these cool little critters, so though I'd share.  https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/77741/gray-fox-1_jpg-2253160.JPG All I get is coons and turkeys

Gray fox are so much rarer to see than red Fox. Plus they climb trees.
