Last night and this morning fox sign was noted and at about noon fox actually spotted. It appears to be targeting neighbor to immediate north. My male dog intervened on last incident causing fox to run into our yard in an effort escape. Fox was lucky female dog not in proper position to get it. Neighbor to north is doing nothing to compensate. May not be checking enough and does not appear to respond to chicken alarm calls.
 
Fox appears to have gotten point and stopped visiting. Neighbor still does not appear aware of fox causing trouble even though at least one hen lost a good number of feathers. Fox had some of those when chased by dog.
 
Lost 490 pheasant poults in rearing pen to two fox cubs, The birds were 7 weeks old and had been released 24hrs before.........was not happy......
