Red fox are my favorite animal to see in the woods, island beach state park where I used to fish frequently had a large population that would hang out on the beach with you while night fishing. We have a few grey ones as well. Lately they are getting pushed out by invasive coywolfs. They are big, nasty and aggressive.

My buddy has a house in seaside, it's one of the last houses before island beach. We would walk down the beach and surf fish, I've seen a few foxes out there.

Got one of those "Trophy Rock" all natural mineral supplement blocks about 100 yds. out back, (in front of a trail cam), to help out the local deer during a rough time of year for them. The deer don't seem too interested yet. They are more interested in the small amount of corn I sprinkle out there once a day or so. Which also attracts squirrels & birds which in turn also attracts some hungry foxes looking for some meat. ... .. .. .. The deer have been showing up at night, the foxes mostly at night, and the birds & squirrels have the day shift. Although this time of year the foxes are hungry enough that they are seen more often than usual in the day. It's 18 degrees F at 4 P.M. today and I'd bet that fox hasn't had a good meal lately. Rough time of year for most critters unless they flew south or are in hibernation....

Red fox were introduced down here by fox hunters. They are not native. They compete with our native gray fox and probably put a damper on their growth. However, the all-knowing FWC has made all foxes off-limits to kill. They say it's because we would be overrun with rabbits if we killed any foxes. They must be doing a good job because I live on 60 acres and only see a rabbit about twice a year. However, they allow bobcats to be hunted as well as coyotes.
Between hawks, eagles, foxes, owls, bobcats, coyotes, and rattlesnakes it's a wonder there are any rabbits at all.

PS: Fox hunters are not allowed to kill foxes. They can only let their dogs chase them while they sit on their tailgates and drink beer.

Here are my "redheads".

Those fox are also good for killing what few quail we have left in Florida

Checked another trail cam in the woods next to the house this afternoon. The local foxes must really be getting hungry in all this snow & cold. Getting a lot more daylight shots now compared to summer when seeing a fox in broad daylight almost never happens. .

Sometimes I think foxes are as common as coons and possums in my neck of the woods.

Local fox population around here seems a lot bigger than 8-10 years ago and may have been a factor in why I don't see very many rabbits. We were crawling with rabbits back then. I get a lot more trail cam pix of fox and very few rabbit pix in the woods here versus my friends property about 10 miles away where two trail cams show less fox but more rabbits. If we were to get overrun with either species I would just hunt them during the open season.

When I first read your title I thought perhaps you were referring to the lovely lady on the avatar of @AJC1

The last time I went to my dads house, he is about 100 miles away half is highway the other are smaller county roads. That day going up I seen 6 red foxes dead long the highway, I was surprised to see so many in just 45 or so miles of road. I'd say there population is up.

See them occasionally around here. This one was around for awhile two years ago.
