Mmm, beer good! Already looking at the bottom of this one, it just vanished.
Now I gotta finish my lunch joint, figure out what's for dinner.


I found a fox den on my property yesterday, hopefully some puppies running around soon. :)
Sure explains the drop off in squirrels this winter, their carcasses are all around the den.

We had fox every year up until about 6 years ago. They where fun to watch play.

Cool...I have a pair that I feed my table scraps too, and they have behaved themselves pretty well. Probably not the same pair even as I been feeding them for years now. About 4 years ago I pulled in one day and there were 2 pups in my parking area playing. I got within a few feet of them and saw them around here playing often. They will eat right next to the neighbors cats, who also visits. Also have a big ol' skunk. Nobody messes with it, more than once anyways.

I've lost several barn cats over the years to foxes so I'm not a big fan. I get that it's their nature and they're really cute but they spread rabies and eat kitties so they don't get to stick around my place. My dad had a den under his deck in DC and couldn't figure out what happened to all the rabbits he used to see before the foxes showed up. I had to break it to him gently lol. The babies are adorable, I have to admit.

I was afraid to outside at night when we had fishercats, momma had 2 curious cubs. They would be playing and screaming at the porch at 2 am.

Had to do some googling on those guys. The article was pretty interesting in that it said that the screaming often attributed to them is actually people mistaking fox screams for fishers. They found that they are excellent porcupine hunters and often were found with quills embedded in their skulls when examined post mortem. They've made a good comeback after being almost trapped to extinction for the fur trade. They sound like very good hunters but the article said there aren't any documented cases of attacks on people. If anyone is interested here's the link

I was going to quote your other post about the fox and say there's much more dangerous animals out here than the fox.

Cats don't last long here. But that's also because of other things too. Not just fishers.
