Watched a Red Fox hunting this afternoon not far from my favorite brush next to the woods. I was able to get a few camera takes while watching it before it took off. Considering the habitat type, my hunch is that it nabbed a young rabbit to take back to a den. There really isn't enough detail in the images for me to positively ID the prey.

Nice easy to locate a fox den they leave a mess in the area around it if you know the general location! Sweet pics

Great shots,Jonathan.It looks like he nabbed a mink,although hard to say for sure.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Coyotes killed off our fox, but I agree.

Mange wiped ours out 25-7 years ago, within two years were had coyote take over, they moved in and exploded in population, no fox to eat mice n ect, they exploded fast here, now unless we kill nearly all coyote, the fox has no chance to recover

Your hours in the field paid of well. Very nice capture.

Looks like a bunnies tail to the right side of the mouthful in the last picture.
Wonderful shots.
