Are YOU "ALLOWED" to shoot fox that is after your chickens??

Seriously, I know predators like fox etc. are more prone to picking up rabies etc. because they hunt for a living, but anything can carry all sorts of bugs. I tend to be cautious when I dress out anything. Heck I'd rather snuggle up to a rabid fox than shake the hands of some people. At least I know where I stand with the fox!

We had a coon problem and because we are out in the country we were told we can shoot it. I would think the same would apply to a fox.

you can shoot anything as long as u don't tell anybody. The birds are more important than a preditor

I'm not sure about Texas but in most states you can take small game on your property without a permit. The size of the rabbits and squirrel here make it a waste of a shell, they are very small.
