We've not done red fox photos for a while. One of the most beautiful furbearers on the trapline. I usually go after them early with footholds, then switch entirely to snares as we get good snows. Pretty high proportion of cross phase foxes in this country, although I've only seen 1 "silver" in 15 years here in Idaho. Had pretty good numbers (about 5%) of silvers in Alaska.

This is a pup that was whelped on our place out of Fairbanks, Alaska.

This is a pup "cross" that was a littermate of the red shown above.

This is a typical cross phase from east central Idaho.

This is a typical red phase from east central Idaho. Not too good on the color (not cherry) but good, full pelts.

Once we have good snow cover, I switch from footholds to snares.

Here's a typical, straw-colored red. Handsome fellow!

What're your typical color phases?

Here's what i see in my area of WI. Not too many at all, though. The coyotes here are rough on them.

Here's a couple, don't have many photos because I don't usually have my camera afield. I get a lot lately with heavily frosted rumps

Let me know where you are, and what % of reds, % of cross, and % of silvers. Have your populations changed much lately?

Absolutely love red fox fur. Of any colour. Great shots, everyone. If I recall , Boco has some amazing shots of very fluffy fox furs he processed himself.

Thank you, Jack, for such fun subjects .

I used to target them quite a bit when I was younger but haven't specifically set for fox for a while.

A few fox from western Alaska. Color phases make up less than 1% of what I see in my catch.

I have never seen any silver or cross fox in ND. I did hear of someone catching a silver, but I never saw it. I heard of one a gray fox, why over on the east side along the Red River and one by Devils Lake.

Thanks for the great photos, Mark. What are you seeing as the color phases in NODAK?
