we thinkin of the same kind of foxes here? :chuckle:

Hmmmm.  Not sure.  Here are both kinds - which are you lookin' for?  They're both rather hard to find.  The one type responds readily to calls.  The other tends to be scared off by repeated calling efforts.  Never had much luck with either ;)

I saw two greys in Granto County on the same day in different locations.  I have never seen any in the Palouse region yet.  The ones I saw were using abandoned coyote dens in September.  One came to the call, and the other I walked up on in between stands.

I'm glad someone else has seen a grey in Grant Co. everyone says I was seeinng things as there are no greys in WA.  I spent a long time as a trapper in the midwest and as a Trappers ED instructor back there, I know the difference.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

AWS, I have hunted that area for a lot of years and that is my only sighting to this day.  When the first one popped up in between stands I thought it was and extremely late season pup.  When I realized that would have meant the pup was dropped in late July, it finally sunk in what I was looking at.  It was only about 20 yards away and I got a great look at it with the naked eye and through a scope set at 4x.  Then about an hour later I called one in about a mile and a half away.  I let both of them walk.  Hopefully, they can expand a little, but there are so many coyotes in that area I am not too hopeful.

I have seen two red fox in Walla Walla county. I saw one run acrossthe road in front of me east of town, and another during deer season a few years back. I could have killed it easily but i was to busy staring in disbelief. I pulled up when he was about 250 yards away but didn't shoot because i didn't even know if they were legal to shoot. I went home and looked it up and at that time they didn't even have a season for them. I was a little bit upset that i didn't shoot it, but thinking back I'm glad i would like to see more of the little guys. I'll shoot one when i start seeing them more often.

just had a buddy call me and say he's been seeing a bunch  :yike: were going to do some research and make sure where he's seeing them that they are huntable and if they are (like he thinks they are) were gunna put some fur on the deck once the hides are good again
