Mine too.....really neat animals.....driving around my uncles ranch near Lampasas we entered a meadow and had one about 20 yards from the pickup hunting mice. We sat there for almost an hour watching it hunt. Was a really neat experience. Was years ago and we had old flip phones so no video or pictures.....

Very cool critters, I don't shoot them anymore. Would be cool to have one as a pet.

I saw two from the deer this season. I almost shot one she had such a beautiful coat and couldn’t talk myself into it. They are cool animals.

We fed 3 kits about 4 years ago. The female (runt) of the litter has come back every year since to have her kits. She's a red fox though, not grey.

That would be so awesome. When I was in the 3rd grade we lived at my grandparents ranch on the Cowhouse Creek near Hamilton. One of our neighbors found a red fox kit and took it to his house. His kids (about my age) raised it. It was such a cool little animal...smart too! I’ve loved them ever since. Don’t think I could ever bring myself to killing one.....

Same here. I won't hunt bobwhites either. Just can't bring myself to hunt them.

They live on campus, he's been sighted at the baseball stadium too. We have a ton in Lubbock; I frequently hear them run across my roof at night. We have a flat roof and nice live oaks they can easily climb to get there.

That is very cool. We had several living in a lot next to our house. They played with our Husky. A developer built homes so no more foxes

Have several behind the house, long as they stay out of the yard and Had 3 young ones and mom show up at the feeder that is about 60 yards from the back door every night and some in the day and watched them grow and eat corn with the deer.

Fun to have critters around the house, might not be good having chickens.

Love seeing them on camera.

So far so good, my Brittney is fairly protective of his chickens since they give him eggs and he was just glad the coop was for chickens and not him.

He makes sure to mark the back fence well and around the coop. Heard the raccoons out back one morning, he went and marked the gate and several places along the fence then lay down at the corner of the coop watching the woods.

Couple pics of one of the foxes with a couple deer.

We see a couple at our home in Inez, occasionally, mostly grey with some orange on them. They are the one animal I have yet to capture on my camera's in Houston County, East Texas. Several years ago, we saw seven at one time at our son's place in Jackson county. Believe it was two females and their kits. Two of them had mice in their mouths.

A few years back I was at Texoma fishing along the bank past the OU Biological station and one came out of the woods and followed me along the bank for about 100 yards or so before it wandered back into the woods. This was before cell cameras but it was a cool experience. We have a family that lives around the school and I see them at night occasionally around town. Cool little animals. I couldnt make myself shoot one either.
