Took my mom out for supper. Just got home. Thought for a second or two it was a kid or woman screaming.

It's mating season, males calling for a mate. Peak season around here is February 8-20th most coming in heat around the 12th.

Back in the live market days we may have 500 + fox . It was quite a serenade in the evening. I learned about every sound a fox makes. At my camps they would sing and chatter me to sleep. On occasions coyotes would respond in the distance.

I used to hear that sound in the wild when I was a kid in NY and it would always get my blood pumping thinking about trapping them.
Then, for about 15 years, we raised foxes and I'd hear it all the time. Always liked the sound, but it didn't make me tingle like it did when I was a kid.

I hear it quite often, all times of year too. Probably because we have a lot of reds in the area. They will pace back and forth just inside the woodline bordering my backyard screaming every couple of minutes.
It drives my dogs nuts. After a while I get tired of the ruckus and let them out to chase the fox off.
Eh...wot?

Our neighbor girl that has been married and gone for quite a few years. Stopped by with her husband awhile ago and she was reminiscing about our fox and how she misses all the sounds that they made. She also remembered their smell , we had a few hundred of them so it was quite noticable.
