No... but I did shoot him on my property! then had it mounted.
We have tons of fox and they are very bold, and brave...well actually just some are conditioned to humans because the summer campers in the area feed the darn things all summer long then leave.
I live here year round and it's a real problem, because when they come to my front door begging for food, I just feed them lead at about 2000 ft/sec or so.
I imagine with me bringing in chickens this spring the are only going to get bolder.
A strong coop and run will be a priority for sure.

I'll be sure to post tons of pics when I get eveything going! I'm ordering from a performance poultry place in Ontario... they have many sources of birds and have an unbelievable selection too. My local feed/ farmers co-op got me interested but really offer very little in terms of variety once I started to research and discover all the different chicken breeds. I'm not taking peoples word for it either, I'd rather figure out what I like and dislike when it comes to chicken breeds...anything I get but don't like goes in the freezer... if I discover a real passion for a certain breed I'll get more of them or breed them myself.
@ mountain man we do have a farmer's market with locals selling stuff I'm sure I could do something like that... trade eggs for other goods!
