Maybe they were coyotes....Foxes aren't very big......

Some coyotes can have the same sort of coloring in winter... Too big for a fox I agree.

Sounds alot like a yote to me. We have both here. Not tooo long ago a coyote got ahold of my cat and di some pretty significant damage, not a month later he killed my other cat and several cats in the neighborhood. By the next weekend the yote had gotten hit by a car, after he was gone the red fox moved in. In the dark he looked like a red fox on steroids, in daylight you could tell the difference alot better. Good luck tryin to get them, I had no luck trying to shoot the one here.

they are mostly like trapping fox you just have to think a little bigger they are not that hard to catch and get rid off
