We have foxes in our yard too they come in for a feed. Though the fox in your pic does look really underweight.


Is it fox season?
I don't know and wouldn't want to. Foxes are rarely killed here where I am. They're more of a popular animal to have in your yard. I love my fox family that come in to see us.
We have rabies here in the USA and foxes arethe second highest carrier of the disease (after raccoons) here in MD.

From 2000-2008 there were 3241 total laboratory confirmed cases. Raccoons - 2225, Fox - 287

The numbers show a general increase each year.

I have foxes in the woods/marsh behind my house and find their scat around my chicken coop and yard. I kill them when I get the chance.

Our fox season (my county) is 6 days a week, 24 hrs a day, all year.
