I've got many rifles, but haven't been near fast enough. Those photos were taken from inside the house with a zoom lense. By the time I got outside, that fox was out-of-sight.
Besides, we think that fox has kits and a den nearby. Call me a bit soft-hearted, but I don't want to kill an adult fox that has little ones near-by, that will starve to death. If I was going to shoot every invader, I'd never be done with it. Our fields border a couple of hundred acres of woods and swamp. So, we've got coyotes, fox, coons, weasels, skunks, all over the place. Also a few black bear. But, they usually don't come this close to the house. I expect chickens to get killed if they wander, but not 50 feet from our home and barn.
What I assume is the same fox came here last week, standing up on its hind legs and making what sounded like bird-calls. It would do it, then travel 50 feet, and do it again. My wife and I were wondering if it had some wayward kits it was trying to round up.
I will kill something if it really becomes too bold and a nuisance, but only as a last resort. I was given many State permits to shoot deer and turkey in my corn fields last year, and wound up not using any of them.
