Fox in Washington

[Hunter7057]

Ok I have lived in eastern WA for almost 21 years and don't recall ever seeing a fox here.  Actually central WA.  So help me out.  Are there any fox in this part of the state?  Any decent populations of fox anywhere in the state?

[Machias]

Yes, decent, not sure about decent population, but there are a number of them.  We've even had members here shoot a few.

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

I saw one several times in Cinebar in 1998.  Foot hold traps were set, but we only got a bitch coon.

Grew up in Tri Cities and never saw one when I lived there. Two summers ago I was doing some fishing back there and saw two in Burbank, along the Columbia.

Seen a few in Capitol Forest riding my dirtbike on the trails, they'd hop out in front of me and run down the trail as i followed them then they would find a good spot to bail out off the trail again. It always shocked me seeing one cause their so small an odd looking. The red/burgandy color is pretty cool.

saw one last year by the Quincy lakes when we were out camping in mid April. Walking along the top of the cliff looking down on Dusty and we saw it. Surprised the heck out of me to see one out there.  Also seen a few up past Ashford many years ago.

I've seen a few in the winter up at Paradise on Mt. Rainier.
I dont know what kind of fox they are but their totaly gray/silver.

We have a few in our area, pretty few and far between.

saw one when i was a kid in walla walla.  very surprising!  and it WASN'T a cat!

I shot one last year in Whitman county. I've hunted that spot for 30 years. The 86 year old farmer had never seen one and he was born there. I really couldn't believe my eyes. Damn cool little critters.

Last march my wife's cousin from Ohio was visiting and took pics of the one by paradise on Mt Ranier he has learned to get food from passing motorist.Also saw a red one on south shore of hood canal near Belfair.

My dad saw one in Pasco off Sandifur while riding his pedal bike at 5:30 am.  He said it ran like crazy when it saw him.  I've also heard of some hangin out by the orchards off Columbia river road and out at Burbank too.

[Blacklab]

I personally haven't seen any know of someone that's seen them around Goldendale few years back.

[Heredoggydoggy]

In my 40+ years in WA I've only seen one fox, and that was in the Wenatchee National Forest.  Foxes and Coyotes compete for the same food, and where coyotes outnumber foxes and are bigger, the foxes get run out if they are found in Coyote's territory.  There are a few in open country, but they mainly stay in the wooded brushy country.
