mcgator Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This fox snuck down while detecting at AKAU, snatched a glove and off it went. Left the Monster alone at least 8 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Perhaps one of her kits, lost it's mits? I worked seasonally on St George Island which had been populated with fox by the Russians. They were always cracking us up with their antics. Uh, the foxes, not the Russians. Edited August 31, 2018 by Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that the fox is having a hard time catching the critters it ate before it got a bum leg. It's hungry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgator Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 That critter is always getting well fed at camp. She come and grab a little then go out and bury. Then come back for more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We don't all write the King's English, Bob...just sayin'.... Foxes are scavengers and will grab anything that they can, bury it and go find some more.... winter is coming... fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wet/dry washer Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Where me camp in the desert, have a pair kit foxes that come in and listen to me talking to them. Throw them a couple of crackers, they lay down and take small bites until there gone. Give them empty peanut butter jar, they take turns licking it out. Next morning always find a couple of turds left as thanks for the treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedrock Bob Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 There are a lot of foxes these days. I have seen several this year already. And for the past five years or so there are "urban foxes" that live in town and patrol the neighborhoods. You see them with regularity. Until a few years ago I rarely saw them. Probably not even once a year and NEVER in town. Now they are a common occurrence. They sure are cute rascals. It is a pleasure to see them operate. .

wet/dry washer Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Never give them more than a couple crackers, but they'll lay there 8-10 away perking their ears at me talking to them. Sure enjoy them, they stay 20-30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yes, Kit foxes will climb in your lap-almost! Here in La mesa the coyotes have cleaned them out. WE had several until the yotes moved in...oh, well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au Seeker Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We have both gray fox and red fox here in southerh South Carolina and surrounding locales but you rarely see them as they're very wary and if you do see them and they are approaching closely chances are they're rabid and you will most likely be attacked!!
