I have a 10-acre field behind my house, and for the last couple of weeks pretty much every night I have a gray fox come out and pick at my apple corn along the tree line. I know a lot of people kill them, but I've enjoyed watching him. If I had chickens I'd take him out, but I don't. That being said, is there realistically anything to worry about having him around? Do they negatively affect deer? I'm not worried about my dogs, but do have a barn cat. Your thoughts?

Leave it and watch it. They are very cool critters to watch and easy to pattern -

I'd leave him be if you don't have anything you're worried about it eating. Doesn't sound like you're over run with fox. One lone fox that's a regular visitor will be cheap entertainment.Comment

I have a nice big male that lives near my stand. He trots right past me all the time. The deer don't even look up. Sometimes I think he would sure look nice above the fireplace...but sometimes it's nice to just watch them...Comment

No need go end his life if he's not being a threat to you or any pets or livestock you may have. Fun and sometimes comical to watch.Comment

There’s no reason to kill it.Comment

He takes a tole on birds and bird eggs. Quail and turkeyComment

Nope. Hopefully he's doing some damage on those pesky squirrels.Comment

I have only shot one fox, wished I would not have. I have only seen maybe 10 foxes in my life. Coyotes, I will shoot, without much thought, but foxes are few and far between. Typically cool to watch.Comment
