Warm Weather Fox



Beth and I dug, snared and released this fellow on Sunday.

It was very warm out (50 degrees today and almost 70 degrees yesterday), and we were not expecting to find anything to ground, but we located some very nice fox settes for colder weather, and this one was actually home.

This pic was taken by a farmer who stopped by just as we popped through into the pipe. He was a nice fellow and gave us permission to work his small adjoining property.

Good soil and an easy dig. We may yet dig this fox again if we are lucky. The main den was left intact as the fox went into a stop end 20 feet off to the side where the dogs kept him bottled up.
