Hopefully you'll spot something and it'd be great to see some pictures... Maybe this thread will eventually be moved the the "Fox Encounters" forum. Smile

That's really cool! Good luck in spotting them. How did you get onto doing that or is it just for fun?

when i was about 8 and a half, i saw the animal police come up to my house, and i didn't know why they were there so i asked my mom. She said my neibhor called because one of the foxes was in her yard. i started crying because i didn't want them to kill it Crying

- remember i was just a kid then and i didn't know they were tranquilizer guns - before they got to it the fox got away though. i just like to look out sometimes and make sure the're still there and everythings going ok. It's morely for fun though. i also noticed recently that there were a couple of coyotes prowling around. ( i hear them alot at night

That's awesome that you got to see a fox in your own backyard. All I ever see in my neighborhood are squirrels, and more squirrels, and then even more. We have a TON of squirrels around here. Shocked

I expect, though, that they WOULD make good fox chow.

Fox Chow?

...

LOL. I guess they would make a yummy snack for foxes, but foxes are probably sneaking in your pet bunny's cage first. Wink

Nice sighting McCloud. I've yet to see a fox, but our other administrator (SilverFox) has seen a fox recently too, and wolves, since he's in Yellowstone right now.
