Color phase fox
« on: Yesterday at 08:14:09 AM »
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.

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.

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