We have loads of coyotes out there, hear em all the time but I think they are foxes here. I have a few more pics but that was the best one. Just thought it was neat to see something different. I plugged the card into the computer and sorted through pics and before long I had the whole family gathered around wondering what would come up next. Got a pair of racoons, a cottontail, plenty of deer, a bunch of hogs...cool stuff. The game camera is the best thing since sliced bread. I love it. That said, it can add to the frustration, knowing that the game is there but keeping odd hours....

Fox for sure !

Red or grey ?????


Looks to be greys due to size, but hard to judge by themselves.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_fox

I think its this guy, based on their habitats....the red generally doesn't range this far into Texas according to Wiki. Maybe a Swift but.....thinkin a gray.

Looking at it, its the same animal my daughter and I saw on a scouting trip prior to the season. We were walking up to the blind and it shot across the road in front of us.

Anyhow, fun stuff. There's so much more to hunting than shooting deer.

I am guessing grey as well.. I do not see the white tip on the tail for a red fox..
You are right there is alot more to hunting than just shooting a deer..
