Grey Fox

[little rascal]

Found this in the parking space(gravel) one morning during a deer hunt driving out. (WV)I had parked in the is exact spot the evening before. Figured he bumped his head under a car. I’ve got one in the freezer in Ga. that ran under my jeep and flopped in the road one evening going in to hunt. Came out at dark he was laying in the road, picked him up and went home. Got another one in GA, caught in a steel trap by his toe. Caught him alive toted home in my arms like a cat with a boot lace over his mouth, brought home and put him in a pen, then my bad, he froze to death a couple days later. I felt really bad about that. Anyhoo, why foxes want to run up under vehicles?

Skinned this one out, and like the others, didn't have a mark on him nowhere, but was a little busted up on the inside. I was a little leery at first because of rabies and whatever, but had a hunch he had ran under a vehicle. Had one in the backyard in GA in summertime run up the fence line towards me at dark and when it got there I was like what is that??? It looked like an alien or ET??? It was a fox with no hair, summer coat I guess? That thing freaked me out big time!

Because fox cannot jump over the vehicles.

No hair. Probably Mange.

Is it not the grey Fox that sometimes runs across roads standing only on their hind legs ? BB
