That'd pretty cool. I've never even caught a red. I did get to see a couple of kit fox out in Western Kansas this year. Don't know if the ones I saw were pups or adults but they were only the size of a bigger house cat. I'm assuming your in the far eastern part of state?

I know of one caught in my area a couple years ago. I'm glad you let it go, although like quail, it probably doesn't make much difference in the grand scheme of things.

First one I caught here was at Pomona lake. Lake had dropped and then froze. An old beaver bank den was exposed. Was coon tracks going in and out. So I tossed in a skint muskrat and put a 220 in front. Nothing happened for a couple days so I dipped a twig in some of O Gormans Missouri Breaks lure and tossed that in. Next day I had that grey. Got a few more locations around here they show up time to time.

I’ve caught a few through the years, some on purpose and others in incidental sets. Best year I ever had on them was four or five. I lived in Manhattan for years, and always found some around the river breaks there. Tough little buggers!

I like catching them. Catch more when I'm out of state though. A lot more. Get several every trip. Haven't came up with one here in 4-5 years . My last one here in KS was a roadkill I picked up south of Garnett. No clue why they are not valuable. I think there fur gorgeous. Trim on a sheared lamb jacket for example.

Best greys I trapped were in AZ. Not the biggest but the little silky greys had great color. As cold as it was last night the coons were out plugging up the few sets I had out. Glad I made this set yesterday. grin [Linked Image]

Nice Gray fox catch.

As much trapping as I've done in the last 15 years, I've never caught a grey. I saw one 2 years ago while I was bowhunting around Fall River. It took a minute to figure out what I saw, when I realized it was a fox.
