Okay, talk to me ladies.

Do foxes stick around in one place very long? I watched one literally run down the road yesterday morning. It's been a few years since I have seen one here.

It makes sense to me that they are like that because I have noticed that the few times I have had problems with foxes they won't keep coming back till ALL the chickens are gone like coyotes or even moreso bobcats will if one lets them.

They're just opportunistic predators, so they will hang around as long as they have a good food supply. As long as that doesn't include your animals, that's good :) They take out a lot of smaller varmints!

Thanks. I don't see him a problem unless he tries to go after my chickies. So far, so good.

For every fox one sees there are usually many more around that aren't seen. They are really very prevalent. They aren't seen much because they are sly. As long as he is minding his own business he will probably continue to.

i see one around here every now and then. but i don't think Kymo would let them stay around for long.

Some dreams are worth the risk it takes to make them real.

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footsteps on the moon.

Last year there was a family of foxes in my neighborhood but they seem to have moved on. Guess hunting wasn't so great in town.

They sure will, especially if they have a food supply. They may have a den around, also.
