I guess you can say I hunted this fox, but I didn't kill him. I had seen what I thought was a fox, probably the same one, a couple times a few weeks ago running across the street in my neighborhood going into someone's yard, maybe looking for a fat dove under a bird feeder after the sun had just set. Then a couple nights ago, the neighbors had been hearing a barking cough sound at night, so I figured it could be a fox. I caught a one pound bass a few days ago and put it in my Havahart Trap as bait. The first night, the trap got tripped with nothing in it. The next night, it didn't get tripped and was open the next morning. This morning, I went down to check the trap and there was a Gray Fox curled up in the back. This fox has probably 5 acres of swampy land with a good many trees and a lot of brush to live in surrounded by houses and a golf course hole and then more houses within the city limits. It amazes me how they can adapt to urban settings. There is an interstate a mile or two away from here and there is a highway half a mile away. This is all in one of the fastest growing cities in the state.
The pictures aren't great, and the video is sorry, but you can hear how happy the fox was to see me.
