Here are pictures of just a couple of the red fox we have caught this year. Over the course of probably the last 5 years we have seen a big increase in red fox in our area. Just wondering if anyone else has seen the same?

In this area it seems the less coyote you have the more red fox you have. The last few years I have caught quite a few coyote in my area and this year it seems like there is a lot more fox sign then in the past and not so many coyote.

In probably the same time frame I have as well in Southern Missouri and few in a nearby town but seen a few close to home my in-laws live about 20 minutes from ava mo surrounded by national forest and we see several near them

I find this fascinating. Is it the coyote population either going down or not present where they live? Is it a habitat issue? Or maybe it’s just a prey issue?

There seems to be a slight increase in the reds here...coyote population is about the same.

I get a few pics of them on deer cameras occasionally several miles from any residential area.

Coyotes IMO definitely affect the fox population. When I was growing up in NYS fox where everywhere. Both red and grey. Once coyotes got established there was a big, notable decrease in the fox population.

Even where I am now. many of us have knocked the coyote population back within a few miles of town and even the farmers tell us they see more fox.

This is super interesting, out here in Wyoming they really seem to coexist just fine, obviously I see more fox right around the border of agriculture and desert land but many times I've jumped a fox or two and a coyote off the same dead pile

A lot of fox live right in town now days.

Used to be lots of reds here and no grays. Now we have grays, coyotes and no reds at all.

Hey Chad we are definitely in a coyote decline and a red fox rise. At lest that’s what we are seeing.

Not here we hardly catch any, been on the down swing now for atleast 5-7 years now.
I miss catching them.

We have lived here now 26 years, early 2000's it would 40 to 70 a year.
I think between parvo and mountain lions they stay slim to none.
