I saw a red fox on the way to PortAngeles that was dead along the highway just last week. He was past the Hood canal bridge along those big clearcuts on the way to Port Angeles. I also saw one on Ft Lewis ten years ago. Obviously not many out there, hard to hunt just for fox. Maybe coyote hunt & kill a fox when you can. Mike

My dad's buddy went coyote hunting around Umatilla, Oregon and shot a beautiful red.  I am not one to truely soak up all that is said when someone says what they saw but he brought it to me to see if i could make a rug out of it.  Shot at 20 yards right through the throat while in the sitting position with a 6mm.  Imagine the damage.  But a beautiful animal none the less.

i thought they were protected in this state. well in that case has anybody successfully hunted fox in Washington?


You can not hunt them in Whatcom county, and Okanogon county... of course the two main county's I hunt!
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

Mike, one of the staff at Swanson Lakes Wildlife Area, reports having two active fox dens along his driveway. (He is self-described as a "weekend farmer" on his 640 acres.)  :o  I'm sure it was a long driveway.

Live all you can: It’s a mistake not to.

We called in a grey fox in Grant county a few years ago.  No we didn't shoot him, it was too much fun watching him scoot from sage bush to sage bush trying to sneak up on the decoy.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I've seen red fox just south of Shelton (Taylor Town) and there are some on San Juan Island, good luck getting access on the latter!

A guy I know over the years has gotten a couple.
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

so where would the closest place be that you could fox hunt? i know not in this state but im not sure how far east you would have to go.

I've never seen one on the east side. A friend of mine claims to have seen one on the west side of the river near Kettle falls. I've heard that there are some on the wet side of the state. They are cool little things. They were all over Ft Bragg, Ft Benning, and Ft Devens when I was in the service. Them and those goofy looking Possums. I'd sure like to shoot a few of those things.
