What would kill a fox?
The back story:
We have a HF property in northern Kimble County that has not had a coyote on it in about 5 years. We have seen in person and get routine pictures of several gray fox and have enjoyed their behaviors so they have been off limits for all hunters. The deer allow them to eat corn and protein at their feet and pay the foxes no mind. We get a few pictures of a bobcat here and there but probably less than 5 pics per month.
In the last two weeks I have seen buzzards circling twice and feared that we lost a fawn or maybe one of the bucks only to find that both times they were on a fox carcass (2 different ones). So what say the green screen theorists, what could have killed these two foxes? Knowing that they are omnivorous, could they have eaten some vegetation that exploded with this super bloom this spring? I do not have any poison out anywhere, just DP coon traps baited wit cat food and fish oil.
In for thoughts, thanks in advance.
