No fox problem around here. The coyotes cleaned them out several years ago, and they are just now starting to come back, along with the rabbits. I look at them as a part of the ecosystem and would much rather have them here than the coyotes, which are not native species.

This area was originally home to elk, bison and red wolves, none of which remain, except in controlled areas. White tail deer were reintroduced fifty years ago and have now increased to pest proportions, with no natural predators. There are not enough hunters to make a dent in the population. Almost every day, driving to and from home, I see two does, one with twins, the other with triplets. No wonder the population keeps exploding!
