These and quite a few other good shots came from the camera trap.
On a lark, I took a tough "Bonz" dog chew that came free with a bag of food, drilled a hole through the midde of it, and tied it with some parachute cord to a piece of rebar I jammed into the ground. The fox spent a couple of nights working over the chew, as did a pretty big raccoon.
Next, I may put a chew up in the air a bit and tie it off to a spring pole of some kind, just to see how good the fox is at problem-solving.

Heheheh . . . Could it be that Terrierman is an ethologist or comparative psychologist? Good ideas, Patrick! I had a skunk perform some interesting tricks to get a dead mouse suspended from a string. Give some thought to using a rubber shock absorber, too. When fox lets go, bone "gets away".
