Hit it with your car.

"bumper kissing"

I beat a rabid groundhog to death with a shovel once.

Can only imagine what that SOUNDED like - ewwwww

Pretty much silent. Couple of thumps. Other people were yelling.

High powered pellet rifle could be the weapon of choice in this matter.

Bow or crossbow...once you shoot the fox, you've got a handy throwin-stick already attached

Cool! I skewered one with a garden fork years ago while helping the in-laws with some spring digging in the vegetable garden. It wasn't rabid AFAIK but I really think I almost got bitten.

I'm guessing I got between it and its hole that was in the nearby fence row when it came charging toward me.

Would have loved to have witnessed that

I actually did the same thing with the handle of a crab net, it was chasing everyone around where we were fishing.

Some reason this comes to mind:

Yup, this one was chasing people, stalking people, following people, jumping out of the bushes at people.
It's very interesting to hear you ran into one doing the same thing.

Short Version:

Showed up at the house we were remodeling, acting strange and aggressive. We chased it off. I couldn't get a response from "Animal Control", HoCo cop came out, but we couldn't find it.

Two days later it came back, chasing people, acting very aggressive like I said. It needed killing, so I did. It charged right at me: at a range of six feet I shot it with my Kimber Pepper Blaster. It was instantly bowled over like it had been hit by a sledge hammer- very, very impressive performance by the Pepper Blaster. I then immediately finished it off with the shovel.
