I just spent a week travelling on Prince Edward Island and was seeing 4-8 foxes a day as the foxes were travelling across newly planted fields. Many were hunting for June beetles as they were emerging from prior potato fields. Every combination of colours of foxes was seen which amazed me. ( all viewing was back seat driving- so the numbers were probably higher)

When I was drumming the Alaska foxes they were 6-8 inches longer and much more fuller ( the bar code tags told where they were from)

I have saved the last especially since a certain artist gets the squireeees about fleas
95% of the foxes from the prairies have a fleas called the human flea on them. From 10 to 3500 count
so I have a special cord that hoop ties around their teeth and has a 2 inch cone just above where you carry it so the fleas can not get to a warm host as they are seeking it.

grin You just HAD to post that, didn't you, N40 ?

"Squireees" about fleas....that's a good word ! Id like to add "Sqishees" , too. As in squish them flat. So, how do trappers keep them from having the ultimate party in the trap shed ? In cold weather, the snared ones already seem to have had the varmints vacated before you get to the fur. I like that.

Everything...and I mean everything...needs to wear a flea collar....

Sharon I did not move to Missouri to be on the 40th parallel but still on the 50th in Manitoba.
When snared animals the fleas still move inward to the warm area, only after they are disturbed by CO2 or vibrations do they actively search
the fleas most species can come back to life after freezing even after a blood meal

I am talking about riffle shot ones, as a good friend a provincial entomologist who ending up getting sick from a flea bite and he developed the cone idea ( bubonic plague)

I never thought you were in Missouri ... ok I thought you were trapping. Regardless, I'm glad you don't mind dealing with those bad crawly nasties ...
