I've hunted and trapped for 30 years in East Tennessee and I've never saw a grey fox. We used to have several reds and greys until the coyotes started getting so populated, but now you rarely see one. I've caught several reds but was completely surprised to see this popping around in my muddy set this morning. For some reason I can't get my pics to upload

Congrats!

Ours were thick in the '90s and then they died off, but I'm starting to see them again now.

I always liked them better than reds. I caught 3 in '87 that was the last ones I've even seen. I think maybe they are a little more elusive than the reds. What reds I mostly see are pups ran over on the highway. The coyotes or something has about done away with the rabbits except in my yard. The snakes, hawks and owls are not kind to the rabbits either. Are you seeing any fox on any of your trail cams up here?

Our high school goes by the " McLeansboro Foxes". When I went they had a stuffed grey they always had among their trophies. Maybe that is why I always liked the grey ones best.

Foxpaw I have 12 cameras out up there and pretty much leave them out year around and I've never had a picture of one. I get bobcats on camera every year but never any foxes. Tons of coyotes though

Been trapping for several years now and had pretty good success on coyotes and bobcats and reds but up until the other day I'd never caught a grey, we'll this morning I had #2 in a walk thru set only 10 yds from where I caught the other one [Linked Image]

Very Nice, RM. They are prettier than reds in my opinion and usually have way bigger attitudes than bodies. They are pretty aggressive and will run up to a call or caller pretty quick. I don’t have a grey mounted but I have a red mounted. Can’t post pics from phone but it’s descending a rock. There was a grey their mounted similar to my red when I picked it up from taxi and it looked awesome. Nice catches.

Congratulations! Been waiting along time to get one. Others around me have caught one but the population just isn't big enough for me to snag one. I am going to keep trying as soon as I get one is getting tanned.

Yea 330 I decided to just tan them. I really don't have much room for another mount anyway. Lol
