Pa just started on the 25th.
Got 1 coon last night, not in one of my DPs but in a fox dirthole set, back leg.
And, got my first fox of the season.

Only put 2 foothold traps out yesterday and went 2 for 2!
Hope that rate holds up!

I’m new at this game, so please correct me if I’m wrong anyone.

Believe it is a Gray.
Full black tipped tail, no white.

Most definitely a gray. One of my favorite critters.


Proudly banned from the NTA.

Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.

Really like the looks of the grey fox. I have caught two in this area in Mn. my whole career and that was 35 years ago.

I miss seeing and trapping them here in Idaho. Some people mistake them for a red fox due to the orange the Grays have on their coat.

Good looking fox. We get them occasionally around here. I caught my first one about 12 years ago, the next year I caught two, and the year after that I caught 12. Went four or five years before I saw another one after that.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the comments.
Like I said, though I’ve been hunting for 45 years, I just started trapping last year, in frozen ground, which was quite humbling.

We got one gray off my farm last year and a bunch of reds. Definitely not a ton of grays around. However, per my cell cam while this male was latched up his mate was circling for a couple of minutes that I presume is another gray.

At seeing that, I just reset the trap today and rebaited the hole.

Appreciate all the info on this site.
Will try to contribute more.

They make great looking hats, but you will need another.
