Red Fox

[coyotero]

I've been seeing lots of red foxs pups.I saw 7 in a 28 mile stretch on the way into town.I've been hearing from other trappers that say their fox populations are increasing.We had a real good coyote hatch also.

     Coyotero,

     Down here in Texas, I've never caught or even seen a red fox.
Friends have caught one or two in years past,
 but all our fox populations are of the grey fox.
A friend up in Denver sent me a road kill red
but it only lasted a year or two then the hair fell out as he didn't tan it.
Fine looking critters reds are.

J. Von Knife   In the late 70's,early 80's I would catch between 200 and 313 fox in 5 weeks.If I didn't get wet weather and really hustled I could do it.I've never caught a grey fox.Fox now have been the exception rather than the rule.Coyotes took over.

[The Poet]

        Yup, Yotes took over here too.

I just started trapping a few years ago around Brady, TX on the edge of the hill country. I have caught about as many reds as greys. Seems like I call in alot more greys but my trap lines are about even. I love walking up on a big red in the trap.
