Where I hunt the foxes are plentiful, I have watched foxes come in and lay down 20 yards from my stand, I have had does come in, see or smell the foxes and just freeze, then when the fox got up, not going after the deer but just getting up to see what was coming, the does would take off the other way. I dont know that foxes will attack a deer ,an adult one anyway, but they don't seem to like the others presence, I know if you leave a dead deer over night alot of times it is the foxes that get to it first, I have trackeddeer that had only been dead an hour and seen foxes sitting by the animal.I also know that using a fawn bawl in the early season, will sometimes bring a fox hauling tail in to you. It would be intresting to see what some others have noticed. Fox persay cant really alarm deer, I mean they sell fox urine as a cover scent right?

Hunting ; an act of love for nature guided by the strongest spiritual forces.
