I had a fox drag off a 15# coon, into the treeline, a few years back.
They are opportunistic

Free meals are very popular with Fox , if they hear multi shots they learned i am target shooting if they only hear one shot and then quiet they come to check for a Squirrel .

Yep. I leave dead squirrels out in the yard and they're gone the next day - everytime.

Funny thing never seen foxes at our bait station, though we have left mice and rats there, but it is most often cats or birds that take them away.

Every time i see one, my brain kick up Thin Lizzie and Johnny the fox

You don't want a pet fox. I wouldn't. They don't smell good. Strong urine odor. When they brought 40-50$ I didn't mind skinning one.

Yeah my buddy used to trap them years ago and would always say how much they stank when he would approach one caught in a trap.

Where I live used to be rural, lots of wildlife including fox, squirrel, racoon etc. Now with all the building of subdivisions you rarely see any of them. The way I see it is everything has to live somewhere and be thankful they are not all gone.

Are you concerned about them eating the lead?

Haa at first I thought you meant a pellet to the brain.
No , as far as ingesting .

Have had a family raised here for the last 3 years and I feed them pest, table scraps, dog food etc. 150 yards from the house. Like watching them. I have skinned a few and don’t mind the smell of fox urine lol but I have skinned skunks too.

They’re the healthiest foxes I think I’ve ever seen. I caught a quick glimpse on camera of a second little one.
ill look it up as to what the babies are called

I think it is a Kit.

They are kits. There was a den of them in my parents yard for a while and I enjoyed watching them. They did no harm at all, didn’t leave a mess and later in the season the whole family moved on.
