Color phase fox

[Loup Loup]

I’ve been tending a few wolf traps. As the season progresses I’ll oft times set a few traps for other furbearers. Fox seem to fur up earlier than coyotes. Also, from what I’ve seen, fox do well around wolves. Coyotes take a beating from wolves, and can be almost nonexistent where wolves are established.
This pic shows two Red fox. One the usual red coloration, and the other of the Cross fox coloration. Called that because when you hang the Cross fox’s pelt up there is a dark cross down the back and across the shoulders.

Both are beautiful. Congratulations

[Loup Loup]

I still remember that super dark Cross you got a couple years ago, Redi. Post a pic of it if you could. I’d like to see it again.

Very cool. Do you have any photos of a cross fox hanging? I haven't heard that term before.

[Loup Loup]

This is a different cross. Not the best pic, but you can visualize the cross.

Saw this one in September. Never seen a black one before.

Cool looking Fox!
Are Color Phase worth more than a typical fox skin?

[Loup Loup]

Beautiful fox benhuntin. The black ones they call Silver fox.
Yes, Alchase, the cross and Silvers are typicallly worth more than the reds. Course there’s different shades of red too.

Took me a second to identify that “fox” in the middle of the first photos lol oops

Super cool. Always wanted to see one, let alone take one. Congrats.

I really miss fox trapping.  I wish we had some in my area.

[BKMFR]

That's a great Picture! I think I recognize that dog :-)
Laddy is fortunate to have the life you are giving him Eric, so glad you got him, his Dad-Grizz is jealous as am I!!

I had mine made into a rug and really like it.

[Loup Loup]

BKMFR: oh, you keep Grizz busy for sure! Laddy does think he’s king of all canines though!
redi: Thanks! Wow, that fox made an absolutely handsome rug! Very impressive! That’s the darkest Cross fox I’ve seen. I put up all my fox so someone could have a rug made out of them.

I’m jealous you have them to trap. I’d love to trap some

Awesome pics, and good info for those who don't see them!
FYI, I have a customer looking for taxidermy skinned foxes so hit me up!

Ok Frank,  I’ll have a collection put together.
