So everything else is open to fox hunting, as I understand it, and I would shoot a fox anywhere other than these areas. Unless the areas had other restrictions for hunting in general, that might apply.

In all my years of calling on the eastside I have seen only one, It got a free pass
I would do the same. As much as im all for thinning out yotes, cougs, bears and wolves, i really dont have any desire to kill a fox. Never seen one on the east side. Only ever seen two red foxes, both on the west side. Theyre neat critters and i dont see them as any substantial threat to big game populations. If i ever call one in the only thing ill shoot it with is my camera. That being said, if op wants to shoot one, more power to him. Not bashing anybody for shooting them.

Have never seen another since. The old man says he has never seen one before this either.

So I know there has been a decreased amount of foxes due to coyotes increasing in numbers but are there any places in Washington you can hunt foxes? Just curious cause I know the regs say all national forests are closed....does this mean you can hunt DNR land or is that national forest as well? Had a dream I shot one of those beautiful creatures now I wanna make it a reality.
I have seen them on dnr land off the 410 corridor.

San Juan island has fox but its illegal to shoot them.
Where is that from? Not in the hunting regs and legal to trap them as far as I know.
Post by: Dan-o on January 01, 2016, 01:25:05 PM
@wolftrapper with that being said what does this mean? About where to hunt them I'm a east side boy so all I know is Wenatchee national forest...DNR ?
I'm not the one you asked, but.....
National forests are NOT DNR.
National Forests are FEDERAL.
DNR is STATE.
Hope this helps.
Good luck getting your fox......

:yeah:
I worked out there last summer and saw quite a few multi colored ones.
The only other times I've seen them was in the NF lands of the Blues, and North Cadcades, both were true red foxes.

Its not in this years regs but I have seen them in past years regs. Is it possible for a county to ban hunting them? As I rember it was illegalin all of the san juans. I had permission to hunt a place beut never went because that is what I wanted to shoot.

I did a little research and found that there are firearms restrictions in all San Juan County. You cannot use a center fire or rim fire rifle. Could this possibly be the reason you were told that?
You could use a shotgun but what I saw it looks like you would need to carry written permission from the property owner to discharge a weapon.
Be nice if there was a resident that could chime in.

It's been closed on San Juan Island since I have lived here, almost ten years. I think it is closed on the others (where it might be found, none here though) as well. I sure can't find any references though for the current regulations. :dunno:
