Red or Grey?
#11
I figured they had a few too many budweisers. Its pretty obvious its red. I have seen this fox on many occasions. Is there a big difference between the grey and red such as prey, habitat, etc.?

They were trying to say that I twisted the colors around to make it look red. The settings are for low quality so I can capture more images. The color in the background does look a bit manipulated.
I think it would make a good mount with a squirel in its mouth!

I've hunted and trapped foxes quite a bit, their ranges overlap and although typically smaller Grays are a much more agressive animal and will be the dominant species in an area where they share habitat.
I have found that Grays will live in a more diverse habitat, everything from your typical low farmland, swamp, brushy type areas to big woods. I have always just associated Reds with farm country, Grays can be pretty much anywhere.
Diets are similar, builds are different and grays are quite a bit easier to call due to their agressive nature. I have also found that Reds seem to like to hunt mostly at dawn and dusk where Grays from my experience are a pretty strict after dark hunter. I'll have my best action on reds during the last or first hour but grays we will call all through the night and the darker the better.
Grays can also climb trees and bark when they know the jig is up. I've had them hang up downwind just barking their heads off at me. LOL
Cool animals, I always loved foxes.

Yep! Good eye Rockin Chair. As you can see its a trail going back into a large bedding area. This is why I chose this location to set up a camera! It would really be funky if the times were the same!
This dog has shown up on 3 out of 5 cameras.

My father in law used to hunt fox religously in Central Wi and I have seen pictures of some of his daily kills with his buddies. Greys and Reds. A Grey fox can go through a red colored phase but its usually the the head area, the fox in that picture is deffinatley a red fox.
