The grays disappeared about forty years ago. The reds are thriving. I used to catch a pretty good percentage of grey's. Now, maybe 1 or 2 a year. Seems like they disappeared here around 2008-2010

Crappiekiller trapper C Joined: Sep 2023 MO	A grey fox was one of my very first catches as a kid back in the early 80’s. Rubbed some bacon grease in the bark of a black oak and set a #1.5 victor single long spring right on top of the ground. Got $40 for him in the round. Used that money to buy 6-120 and a dozen 110 conibear. Started trapping a big spring just behind the house a couple miles away using my bicycle. At the end of the year, I sold enough fur to buy a Honda 200 3-wheeler. Fond memories. CK
