Hey man. That really had to suck, a good rule of thumb when ever you go look at huntin land take some kind of gun just in case. I know what its like i was hangin out with some friends and we were just ridin the 4-wheeler around the back feild during the fall. We went to switch riders and we look down about 35-40 yards and see this huge yote sittin in the middle of the field. I dont recomend you do this but I got the smart idea to play chicken with it an we havent seen it since. Anyways good luck with your fox i know what you mean by them bein thinned out.
