Any fox in WA?

[Pete112288]

I have always been curious about how many fox are actually around in WA esp western WA. I know they have a season in the regs for it with not much other regulations on them. The only fox I have ever seen in the wild was in Montana. Anyone seen any in WA first hand or on trail cameras? Killed any? West side?

I saw one a week ago tonight in Duvall wandering though town. Fat and healthy looking fellow. First 1 I've seen or heard of around here but I'm sure there's a few more running around.  I killed one back in NY years ago while deer hunting. We had a bunch of them there.

But I manage a C store. 

Sorry came straight here from the seriously thread.

There use to be a lot on san juan island--i think its the eurasian rabbit they preyed on there and the rabbit pop plummeted, followed by the fox pop. I still saw a blonde redfox in broad daylig ht. last time I was there in 09. They feed on voles and mice mostly now.

I called one in just east of ellensburg last winter.  The dang thing was 20 feet from me when i saw it and did not get a shot at it.  was a mostly black and white colored.  100% fox thou got a good look at it when it stopped on the opposite hill.

I wouldn't plan on doing too well hunting them..pretty scarce on the west side

I've only seen a couple on The west side...there is a lowland fox and a high country fox that is a litle different..the high country fox is kinda like big foot..bio's spend insane amounts of time looking for them...I think theres only two recorded sittings an one was mine..the bio couldnt get the map out fast enough when i told her about it

This was up at mt st Helens btw

Several of them out Johnson Point in Thurston County. But all private land I think.

The "highland Fox" your talking about i believe is called the cascade fox. and there have been quite a few seen, documented and on peoples walls. They are black and silver grey sometimes a blue tinge. There are fox all over five mile drive in tacoma

Tons up here at crystal mtn. Cant hunt them in national forests though which sucks. There were pups living in a culvert last spring in the parking lot, 3 silver/black and one red. Cute little guys.

I've seen quite a few in the kitsap and Olympic Pen area, unit 621. I spend 90 percent of my hunting West of I-5 and never seen one.
