What time of year are foxes most active?

[Butterscotchbitesfinger]

Hi everyone. I have been wondering as us Aussies approach Autumn what time of year foxes are most active in their chicken hunting? I have a fox that lives two properties over and he is very active in chicken hunting last year.

For me, they always pop up most in fall but that may be just me...

I'm sure it all depends on your area, but for me it is April through August. That is when they are feeding kits and the most desperate for food.

That is our spring through summer (April through August). Not sure how your seasons/months correlate. I usually see them most active from daybreak to about noon.

This^^^.....and also maybe when those youngsters begin to hunt for themselves. Season(s) will vary greatly depending on species of fox and geographical location.

where I am

Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!
