Fox in Washington

[JackOfAllTrades]

There is a decent population in Tacoma especially around Titlow beach.  If you drive around there at night you'll see a few.  Also, I would always see fox on Fircrest golf course.

Oh the memories... Hanging with the foxes of Wilson, Curtis, Bellerman Prep, Foss... down by the tracks of Titlow Beach. I spent half my youth down by that old ferry landing. Willits dock was owned by my uncle Lonie.  Never did see a 'canid' fox down there. Plenty of Quail there. Makes sense for some foxes to be around.

The town of Fircrest and I didn't get along though. Neve spent much time on that course.

There's literally probably a number in the thousands on San Juan Island alone.  I'm not sure why you can't shoot them up there, but drive around at night and they're darting across the road left and right.  They are the apex predator out there and seem to be doing well enough to have wiped out the turkey, quail and few released pheasant.  I wish we could get them there, they need to be cleaned out a little IMO.

I shot 2 on january 2nd. Missed one running away yesterday. I've seen 7 since september. I have one on the wall that I killed in 2009. I know where they hang out 
I love hunting them. I've killed 6 total here in washington.

   I've also heard of some hangin out by the orchards off Columbia river road 

 

saw one last year North of Pasco between an orchard and the Columbia river,  kind of a surprise

Those are my family's orchards and there are definitely foxes in them a whole family, last year there were 2 that got hit on the road.  They've been around awhile, I was pretty shocked when I first saw them.  We've also got quite a little raccoon problem out there.

I have seen more fox in the city around Olympia while staying with friends than I have seen anywhere else in WA.

There are good numbers of some of the san juan islands, and when my boyfriend and I dropped off his elk last year at a taxidermist near Gig Harbor there was one a block away from the fellow's house. They're pretty few and far between.

We were up at Paradise this afternoon and saw this One.

That is a great capture. Thanks for sharing.

There was a dead one at the bottom of Ryegrass coming into E-burg on I90 last night.  Looked like an adult.

See them up around Rainier. Usually in the winter or early spring. Not a good place for hunting.

There was an article in the Lewiston Tribune recently about the foxes at Mt Rainier.  Guess they've become accustomed to receiving handouts from people.  It's causing a problem mostly with them getting run over.

Saw a flat one on Hwy 12 in Pataha this weekend.

I've seen several around Pasco, Kennewick, and Burbank. A few years ago there was a litter of pups running around the port of pasco. Saw them quiet frequently. I've also seen a few between the palouse and the blues.

[Maverick]

They're still in the port..

Up archery hunting in the Naches for elk 2 years ago when I had a permit for branched bulls. Walked back to my tent after peeing just at dawn and a pure black one with white tip on his tail was eating my damn granola bar I had only taken one bite of. My bow was hanging from a tree just out of my reach before he blew out!!!!!
