I smacked this girl in the backyard last night....
Range 25yrds, I shot it because it would not leave... I have kids and dogs (so do my neighbors).
My neighbor and I tried several times to scare it away and it would not go. We were both worried it might be sick. So I pulled out the bow and quick and quiet....
If it were my backyard, and I weren't raising chickens I'd be tempted to feed her for a while and see if she'd bring some kits around in the spring. I like foxes. they eat squirrels.
Yeah I would have rather not had to shot her... But that was some pretty strange fox behavior. As far as the rabies, I warned my taxidermist (who just happens to be my cousin) so he could take all the proper precautions.
I'm gonna get her mounted in the Mantle style... Was thinking about getting the skull camo dipped but I have not made up my mind.
My neighbor called Animal Control once for a similar issue, they said they only deal in domesticated animals call DNR... DNR basically said big whoop... We can call the cops for you or you can do it yourself but they weren't gonna do anything. So now a couple of the neighbors call me Robin of the Hood to bust my chops but love it when I share the deer I harvest and help fill their freezers!

I have seen more fox this year.
