Any fox in WA?

island fox

Used to be quite a few on Whidbey island.  When I lived there in my college days a(summer job), I did get one to eat from my hand.  Took about an hour at least to coax it in to whatever treat I was offering.

Chased a couple up a logging road in 615... They were gray

I thought gray foxes were called cougars?

My brother killed a few near asotin, and I saw one by lyons ferry, and one in waitsburg.

Only seen one in my life and it was when I was heading up to St. Helens, On the public roads on the way up he ran across the street and stood on the hillside staring at me. Insanely gorgeous creature, Night red color to him.

Im not a fox expert nor do I spend much time up north so Im just gona report what the bio was telling me...at the time of the conversation the bio had spent like 35days in a backcountry camp checking around 60 different game cameras that were all baited around mt st hellens high country.....she had yet to even catch a glimpse of  this "high country" fox (or wolves but thats a different topic)

I'd imagine with that much data an field time if they were common she would have seen one by then

She told me the lowland fox was much much more common but still scarce



I can't imagine how many pics that gal must have had to go through

So my sighting was pretty rare then? I kinda took it as an omen for a good trip up the mountain, My first summit and man it was amazing.
It was around the 2000ft level, not sure what that would make that fox.

Idk I spent prolly close to 40 days up there last spring/summer an never saw one so regardless of which style of fox it was I'd be pumped
