LOL...I'd have probably shot it if it had been a coyote (I've had them there too) but I like foxes and bobcats.

Have a red fox that comes to troll the yard every few weeks. Damn thing can't weigh over 10 lbs.

Cool little animals.

This one had very neat coloration...It had alternating red/grey stripes on it's face, red chest and front legs, and the back end and tail was grey...

yeah foxes sure are cute...until they drag your dog/cat into the brush by the throat

True. My first cat was rescued as a newborn from the jaws of a fox---the rest of her litter
and mama cat weren't so lucky :(

I saw only a busy tail disappearing into some brush, but I'm pretty sure it was a fox, too bushy tail to be coyote, but it was a very brief glimpse, inside Loop 410, near the N/E driving range, in the Salado Creek Linear Park, between 410 and Austin Highway.

CC how big was your fox? I read that link that said "up to 9kg" and that seems kinda small for the ones I've seen around here. The only other ones I've seen were where I lived in Georgia; those were red foxes, but they were very small, like smaller than a house cat.

Very cool. I've only seen foxes far away, though in the wild. I once saw on cross traffic :lol (with wooded areas along the road).

Very healthy-looking fox.

I have a skunk that forages on my back lot, but it's half-naked from mange.

If it's doing it in the daytime it probably has rabies too. That's about the only time you see skunks in daylight. If you make a head shot it won't stink up the yard...
