Recently I have seen more dead Foxes on the roads due to all the new Home development, lots of farm land disappearing west of midland drive & 1900 south from Roy to 12th street, they are pretty cool to watch I have chickens and pigeons never had a problem with them so far! knock on wood!
Looks definitely like a fox. We have quite a few here in Tulsa and some farmers are taking action.I have a few neighbors that
were devastated after foxes raided their chicken herds. It's really sad to have your livestock get eaten and I do admire these animals. The situation has gone so bad that some folks decided to call https://tulsa.aaacwildliferemoval.com/ in order to get things under control and get rid of the issue. As much as I love wildlife there are times we need to control their population to maintain balance.
But this one (click the link below and watch the video), I'm not exactly sure. I get my own dog, plus the neighbors dogs on the cameras all the time. This is not one of those dogs. This is also not the fox -- it's larger than the fox. It's tail is down. I know it's grainy -- best I have. I think it's a coyote. Thoughts?
Video looks like coyote. The still image looks like a fox. If your saying that both are the same animal I'd have to go with fox based on my experience. But up where you are perhaps the coyotes grow much thicker coats and tails than down here in S. California.
Edit.
Ok. I just had another look at the still image. The legs look a bit long for a furred up fox and relative to the wood pile he looks pretty tall for a fox.
I think the still is a fox. I think the video is a coyote.
I'd love to set some snares around here -- but with my dog, and all the neighbor dogs, I don't dare. Oh well. The cameras are fun too. I'll just have to settle for trapping skunks and raccoons, and taking pictures of everything else.
Cal-Ranch sells a "live catch" coyote trap. It's kind of expensive... but you can catch anything coyote sized or smaller. The raccoon trap they sell is fantastic quality, a fox may crawl into it if it were hungry enough. Let the "by catch go", put a bullet in the brain of everything else.
Remington sells a sub-sonic 22lr ammo that is extremely quiet out of a rifle... just say'n :mrgreen:
