Nice looking fox. Where do you hunt? What kind of call(s) were you using?

Cool. Have you shot/seen coyotes there before? Usually you won't find them and the foxes in the same place."In politics stupidity is not a handicap." - Napolean Bonaparte

do you have any market for hides? down here in AR we mostly sell coons or beaver.....i have always had several red/gray fox on my place but have nothing to do with them so i let them live.....
on another note are there any problems with having relatively high fox populations?

I can't imagine having fox around could be that bad of a thing. They would eat field mice and maybe get into the rabbits and gamebirds like grouse or pheasants, maybe turkey poult as well. If I noticed a drop in other game animals, that's when I would start to care. If you have a lot of fox that probably means there is a lot to eat.
