Gray Fox in my Coon trap

Last night. Cutest little thing. Maybe 8 pounds or 10 or so. Has a big growl though. Apparently the husband/wife Fox team is hanging around the house and barn lately. The wife would not dream of me doing harm to the little thing, so I let it loose. It ran a short ways and then went to the pond (75 yards) for a sip of water. Couple of hours later he was still over by the pond. I hope the little fellow doesn’t get up to any mischief, forcing me to take action.

I guess he was thirsty after the night in the trap for sure.

You bet.

Sweating it....trying to figure out how to tell the 'Wife' why he was out all night. Bound to make you thirsty.

If his mouth was still wet, she would say "I see you have been drinking..."
