Fox are fairly crafty animals. They will den up in a variety of places that afford shelter.We have a red fox that frequents our property. He usually goes to check out the chicken coop/run but so far hasn't been able to get in. Hoping "Fort Clucker" continues to live up to its name!
I didn't realize that hollow logs were a thing for them. Do they live in them vs dens dug in the ground? Starting to feel bad about the hollowed-out log I just burned yesterday...
Do vultures feed on moles and voles? Those are the two garden pests I'm hoping the fox will concentrate on.We, neighbors and I, finally killed out most of the coyotes around this corner of the county. The foxes don't bother much and we still have a few fox hunters with dogs, but they don't kill the fox.
The only problem I have is the Black Vultures. They've ran all the native Turkey Vultures away from my area. Went up to what's left of the old pole barn today with the contractor.
I heard a Black vulture hissing at us, it's got a nest in the old manger. The contractor asked me, "what is that sound"? I told him and he'd never heard one hiss before. The last one that hissed at me got to see my .410 up close.
Indiana DNR imported them because they are voracious eaters; however they are also aggressive and will even peck out a newborn calf if the mother cow hasn't licked it dry yet.

Never seen any black vultures in the northern part of the state. Hopefully they won't make it up here for a while.We, neighbors and I, finally killed out most of the coyotes around this corner of the county.
