Quote: Yup, that's what we did. No luck with the stakeout last night, but we have several traps set tonight. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Well, it's nearly 11:00PM Saturday night, and my husband is literally up a tree. He put his climbing stand up really high with a view across the chicken-yard, and he left the three remaining pullets in a heavy-duty wire cage (dog-show crate) on the outside of the pen as "bait." Cross your...

Quote: SWEET.

Quote: Might be semantics but I cannot hunt deer on my property out of season because they are "managed", not endangered or protected. Right--that's how it is here. There IS a regular hunting season for fox, but it doesn't begin until September, and there are special restrictions in place...

Quote: Heh. We have never seen any others, just this one, who is male. Maybe a hat?

I can't claim any credit for the photos; Alex just knew where to place the camera, and anytime something moves in front of its sensor, it triggers the shutter 3 times in a row. The red foxes really are pretty leggy--but usually when you see them they're in "skulk" mode, hugging the ground!

Quote: He's just lean and mean. He's shed his winter coat, thats probably why he appears to be scrawny. He's actually pretty lean and buff. Look at all those muscles showing. If you could keep him out of your birds, wait til late fall/winter when his coat returns, then "find him in the...

Quote: Turkeys are just over one week old. They're still adorable! I love them. I guess it's about time for the ugly phase to start.

Quote: Hee. Red fox is definitely a "furbearer" with its own season and protections here. And we really believe that this guy is a loner. Knock wood.

Quote: Me, too! I don't guess I can send him over to your house?

Quote: Yeah...ironically, he looks thinner now than he did this winter (we have gamecam pics of him from then, but on the OUTSIDE of our fence). I guess he didn't ration out those TWENTY-THREE birds he killed very well.

Quote: Apparently not. Alex spoke to three different people at Game & Fish, and was told that they need to send a rep out to our place, have him review our setup and see any evidence of predation (we have the gamecam pics and we saved some mangled bodies from our 10 wk old chicks), and then...

We have not had any breaches by raccoon or fox since the serious electric fence went up. (fingers crossed) I'm hoping we can hold him off until we get some guidance. We're trying to do everything totally above board. We have all kinds of traps, and Alex is a darn good shot. First chance he...

From the Game-Cam, last night. We have two cams set up, at different angles, and in this shot, he's standing DIRECTLY in front of the gate to the chicken-yard, staring right at the camera--it probably caught his attention when it flashed to take his picture. We're trying everything to catch...
