I've got many rifles, but haven't been near fast enough. Those photos were taken from inside the house with a zoom lense. By the time I got outside, that fox was out-of-sight.
Besides, we think that fox has kits and a den nearby. Call me a bit soft-hearted, but I don't want to kill an adult fox that has little ones near-by, that will starve to death. If I was going to shoot every invader, I'd never be done with it. Our fields border a couple of hundred acres of woods and swamp. So, we've got coyotes, fox, coons, weasels, skunks, all over the place. Also a few black bear. But, they usually don't come this close to the house. I expect chickens to get killed if they wander, but not 50 feet from our home and barn.
What I assume is the same fox came here last week, standing up on its hind legs and making what sounded like bird-calls. It would do it, then travel 50 feet, and do it again. My wife and I were wondering if it had some wayward kits it was trying to round up.
I will kill something if it really becomes too bold and a nuisance, but only as a last resort. I was given many State permits to shoot deer and turkey in my corn fields last year, and wound up not using any of them.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
