I've seen maybe a couple dozen around tri-cities. the last was about two weeks ago. It was fighting with a cat in the middle of the road. i had to stop and rub my eyes. It was barely bigger than the cat.

I was down at the river a couple of years ago shooting my bow on a course I made and a black fox, which I guess is a color variation of a red, came out at right by my target. He took off as I was drawing. Damn things are tiny and I probably would have missed anyway.

Theres' getting to be more and more around here, especially in and around town.

I saw a silver one in the Siouxon year ago.  Cant shoot them in the Gifford Pinchot though.  Anyone know if you can trap fox in Gifford Pinchot?

haven't seen any here but in TN I had one walk right up to me when I was bow hunting at about 6 ft he kept trying to play with me jumping back and forth around a bush I was leaning against and I tried to shoo him away but he wouldn't leave ended up shooting him from about 10 ft and he ran across the field and jumped in a hole before he died...so much for bowhunting he was a pretty cool looking red.

Never taken one in this state.  But when we were kids my cousin caught a pup by the Black Lake firestation (Thurston Co.)
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
