Red Fox?
 

Not Mr. Sanford of TV fame.:D

Do you guys think a Red Fox would have ill effects on your hunt? If he used the deer trail 10 minutes before prime time?

Thanks, LT

RE: Red Fox?
 

None whatsoever. I've seen them on the same trail within 5 minutes of each other, about 4-5 years ago.

RE: Red Fox?
 

Deer, or bear? No.

Turkeys, yes[:@]

RE: Red Fox?
 

I could have shot the little bugger with my bow, but opted not too because of spooking deer. I have already taken one with my bow, but this was a bigger fox. Beautiful. If I had the funds to throw away for a mount I would have taken him maybe.

I've seen them 15yds apart, feeding.

RE: Red Fox?
 

I don't think It makes a difference LT. Not to long ago my brother got a couple of red fox on his cuddeback and about 20 minutes later some doe's and fawns came through also.

RE: Red Fox?
 

Well Geez LT youdidn't ask if SHOOTING it would, that MAY!

RE: Red Fox?
 

Wow!!

RE: Red Fox?
 

Do a soft tanned hide...Beautiful and MUCH cheaper. I'd have shot if I was you:D, Im looking for a fox with my gun, much less a bow.[8D]

RE: Red Fox?
 

And 2 racoons, Steve.

First light and they were all there, together. I never thought much about the does (4-5 of them), but I thought the coons would be afraid of the fox (at first....then it took about 1 second to think better of that).....lol. Everybody kinda held their ground, though....and the fox was the first to split.

Funniest one was the Hawk/Squirrel standoff a couple weeks ago at a distance of.....ohhhh....about 6 INCHES.:D

RE: Red Fox?
 

I have never seen them close together. I did not really think they would try to harm a deer/fawn. I was just curious how deer react to them and their scent. Thanks for the replies. Oh, and the hide idea may not be such a bad idea. I really want another sighting of the blonde yote I had at 15yds a couple months ago. I believe I would fork out the funds to have it mounted. Rare around here.

RE: Red Fox?
 

LOL! True that. I used to think Coons were teddy bears...until I saw one fight a hound 2x his size with 2 .22 bullets in him. I will NOT mess with a coon...nor would that wimpy fox.:D

RE: Red Fox?
 

Tembry, I had some run-ins with some sow coons when I used to trap. Them mommas is some mean mofo's when you corner one. Lol

RE: Red Fox?
 

I saw a nice 8 pointer come down the same trail that a yote took about an hour earlier. I don't think a fox would bother a deer.

RE: Red Fox?
 

Hmmm...didn't know that Fox liked grain and grass so much....;)

RE: Red Fox?
 

Fox don't bother deer at all. I use fox piss for cover scent. I have had bear walk by and then deer 15 min later. If a bear doesn't bother them then how would a fox?

RE: Red Fox?
 

I see tons of red fox while hunting and there has never been an issue between them and deer. I’ve had them in the presence of each other many times with just a passing glance and that’s all.
