btw- we've learned that there are 2 more somewhat younger foxes who have started to visit us.

Just a little less frequently than Slash.

btw- we do not have a rodent problem.

We have one fox in the area that makes occasional visits...no pics as I don't have a camera outside, but I've seen him/her infrequently.

We also don't have a rodent problem in our area.

Also at the 45th (well, 44,56,11.87)

A very photogenic critter you have there @A-Jay . It seems like he knows where the camera is and likes to strike a pose.

That baby should move some serious snow.

Agreed ~

And for the first time in almost 20 years of living here,

I hope we get HAMMERED with snow.

Like 9 feet !

All except for the roof of the house.

Which, through some type of miracle of a weather phenomenon,

collects ZERO snow or perhaps even melts amazingly away.

Hey, a man can dream . . . . .

Can you send Slash over here? I have a serious rabbit problem. Like in the hundreds.

Not sure how frequently fox prey on rabbits though. A full grown cottontail is probably a sizable meal for a red fox.

I don't know how much help Slash would be - we have the one fox around here (that I know of....might be more), and one morning I popped out the back door and there were 4 rabbits in my back yard alone and a couple next door. Bunnies breed so fast, I think they could keep ahead of a few foxes.

I don't think my wife would let me.

As for chow, we've seen him with squirrels, moles, mice, & flying squirrels, if you can believe that one.

But never a rabbit. We've seen the remains of successful kills but can't confirm who got it.

My guess is an Owl because the carnage is always discovered at first light

and there are never any "tracks" in the snow where it was carried out - so an airlift is suspected.

There are some rumors around that the local rabbit population is sort of allergic to

a .177 Gamo 10 gram Whisper Pellet traveling @ 1200 FPS.

Yeah, I've already got that covered. Can't even make a dent.

My dog used to be pretty good about chasing critters like this but Father Time has caught up.

Gram? Did you mean grains? 10 grams is almost 3/8oz

I know they're allergic to a .177 Crossman Copperhead 8 grain hitting 1000fps

I keep a pump up by the back door - local squirrels have pretty much learned to avoid my yard...and I've taken out the occasional rabbit after the first heavy frost to put in my pot.

Yes, Thank you.
