I spotted either a pair of foxes or coyotes scurrying across the street a little while back, which is pretty unusual around here. In my neighborhood, we have a very large and growing deer population that is rapidly getting out of hand, plus a random assortment of skunks, raccoons, and armadillos. Up until recently, my backyard was a regular old vermin preserve.

there's a presumably escaped pet rabbit that lives somewhere behind the school playing field, i see it most mornings sat on the field within fleeing distance of the dense hedgerow, a big fat black and white lad. when he disappears for a few days i wonder if the foxes have had him but he's clearly quite a canny survivor by now, he's been around for months

Unban Foxes

Unfortunately, my neighborhood just has a million bucks. Also, several female deers have given birth in my front yard. Must look like a maternity ward to them. And my front lawn must look like a deer toilet...
It would be nice to have some foxes show up and get these fuckers in line.

Foxes are tad small to hunt deer. Coyotes seems like the better bet against deer.

Re: coyotes vs. deer. Because they don't hunt in packs like wolves, coyotes can't possibly predate on adult does or bucks. Young fawns are small enough to be coyote prey, though.

Louise from across the road warned me today about a deadly fox in the area, when it appeared in her garden she ran at the poor bugger with a hard bristle sweeping brush. I tried to explain to her that this fox was probably in need of hydration and terrified.

There are some large and partly overgrown gardens at the back of our house and there's at least 3 foxes living in there. There are 2 we see together quite often lately so I think they probably have cubs. Just now we saw the pair of foxes in the garden behind ours right by these 2 black cats (there are loads of cats around here too) and they pretty much just ignored/weren't bothered by each other. The foxes were running around the garden, probably looking for food, while the cats just stayed in the same spot. We were a bit concerned at first when we saw the 2 foxes right next to one of the cats (didn't see the other cat at first) but the cat just stood its ground I guess.
All the foxes look a bit mangy. One of them has no fur on its tail at all. Sometimes I leave some bread out in the garden with some marmite and mange medicine on it (apparently foxes love marmite), but I was looking at the bottle and it's homeopathic so I'm a bit skeptical that it actually does anything for them. We got it from a fox protection society though. I'm also not convinced the foxes are even the ones eating it with all the seagulls around here.

I had to jam on the brakes the other day because a fox trotted across the road in front of my car carrying something in its mouth that might well have been a young rabbit. There's at least one full family of them living in the dunes behind our housing estate.

I saw a fox last week when I was walking to the post office. Prior to this the wildest animals I had seen near me (I live in a large-ish city in NJ) were rabbits (a few here and there), the odd raccoon, and groundhogs (a whole colony of them, at least 3 or 4). The fox just came jogging down the street, sniffing at people's lawns like a dog. Of course I didn't have my phone with me, or I'd have taken a picture. It was totally unafraid of me. Exciting as hell.

There are 3 foxes in the 2 gardens to the right of mine. They all look good, no signs of mange, I guess probably the mangy foxes that lived there last year have died and these have moved in to take their place. Been watching them out the top window for a while. Not sure what they are up to - at first I assumed it was a male and a female and the third one was a rival male, it is mating season after all. But they all seem friendly with each other, and have been jumping between the 2 gardens, sometimes 2 in one and 1 in the other, but not the same pair all the time.

Fox! There's one wandering around my neighborhood today, confirmed by two neighbors. It passed me twice while I was working in the front yard, but I only caught a glimpse before I RAN IN THE HOUSE LIKE THE COWARD I AM. Just phoned the city and was told that wildlife is part of the city, and they won't do anything unless the animal's injured. "What should I do if I get home one night and find myself face-to-face with it?" "Uh...try to scare it away."
They're not dangerous, are they?
