Thanks for the information! This encounter has made spring that much better. I went with my gut to welcome this, regardless of many people who would be afraid or wanting to start shooting for fun. A community like this is nice to find like minded hunters since I don't want to tell anyone near me about this.

I seen the fox early this morning hiding along the creek. The nearby LED lighting gave him away. It looks like he was after birds that where doing their morning thing in the cut grass next to the creek.

I've observed coyotes hunting turkeys in this manner, hiding in the woodline next to a field waiting to ambush turkeys near the woodline. They can get several feet to their prey this way and is similar to how cats hunt. The low terrain of the creek also provides a way to move unseen towards prey or away from unwanted situations. When thinking of canines most look at dogs who just try to run everything down. Foxes and coyotes are truly sly animals.
