deer in my area will spook at a fox.I think they don't know if it is a fox or coyote. he will be back. another animal doesn't sacre them away like a hunter.
I had the same problem last year,fox and coons eating my feed.also on several hunts the fox would scare the deer.

so last year I started trapping. I removed somewhere around 15 fox,20 coons,14 possums,and 3 wild house cats.

I have a lots more feed for the deer now. you my want to trap some and move them or sell them if it is legal in your area. we can't sell the fox,so we move them.

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
