Fox pic

Good pic of our local red fox on the patio this afternoon. He does a good job getting rid of the rodents.

Nice!   I have one too.   He’s been here for a few years now.   Right in the middle of the burbs.  He triggers my cameras nearly every night.

Used to have a couple in the area, but have not seen them lately.

I've got an armadillo that's been tearing up the yard for months.  Want to trade your fox for my dillo?

I've been trying to catch it in the yard at all hours of the night.  It's one lucky armadillo as there's a round of #6 shot just waiting for the opportunity.

It's where most red fox live these days to avoid the coyotes.

Have you been out off and on all night long? 

  With Pat on the spot light and me on the air rifle we took out at least a half dozen this summer. Plus a 120 and 160 conibar where you can because those are housecat and at certain times a small dog getter. No worries about the small dogs around here. The feral house cats too bad so sad. 160s on the ground are legal for those of you that don't know. Speaking of that we have been going berserk on opossum and coons. The turkey hatch is suffering terrible here. The mdc knows it. Extended season on coon, possum and skunk now. The are probably worse on ground and low to the ground nesting songbird population. With fur prices low because of (insert what you want here) things are out of balance. I'm going to do my part. You should see the brush pile with coon and possums I have going. Another possum added a few minutes ago.

Is there a fur buyer near you? The last one near me  died a few years ago and no new ones. I can recall when I had a choice of 15-30 buyers within easy driving distance.

On armadillos, there must be a couple dozen within 300 yards of the house and during  the drought they were foraging nearly all day long.
