You never know how the Photo Phriday will produce. This one is really been a pleasure.
One contract that I had was to look for ticks that came into the fur buyers and look at them pre-drumming.
Bar codes and sections were easy to track once some ticks were found. Remember that this was pre-explosion of the Black legged tick ( Ixodes scapularis) and it's movement across USA and southern Canada.
3 tick species were found with a 5% infection rate
Those northern Alaska foxes were 6 inches longer and much more finer texture and stood out in the piles.
no photo so am I banned ?

Very nice thread Once again the trapper man crew lead the way in teaching us all there is to know about the beauty and variations that are a part of Mother Nature Herein PA our favorite or I should say most prevalent color of Red Fox is called a Straw Back That is because the back and rump are of the same color as a bale of PA wheat or barley straw And now a days the farmers probably getting paid more for a small square bale of barley straw than what a very good prime pelt would bring But they are fun to trap and always interesting to learn aboutA gain a great thread with the always wonderful pictures and a shout out to Sharo for her always first rate tat making her subjects took alive

Well said west side; Sharon's art is forever mind-blowing. Love the foxes. Not in this thread, but a favorite of mine is the fox that a not-too-good marksman has just missed. Great addition by Tatiana also!

Jack, I think you mean this one. It was to a story about a young trapper growing up, missing the shot by a little, from distance, and how the fox reacted to the snow blowing up in front of him. A good action image, among my favorites to do.

Thank you also , west side rd. Many videos of action and photos from kind trappers , with their permission, is what allows art in technical form . All Thanks and credit to them.

The top is the picture in its entirety, the bottom a cropped zoom of the fox in closer detail.
