tree climbing fox

[Bigfoot 327]

OK, not a trail cam pic. It was taken from the kitchen window. This fox went wherever he wanted to in the tree until he finally found an apple. Then it was down the tree and a mad dash to the woods. It would have made an unbelievable video, but alas, I wasn't prepared.

That's pretty cool! Never would have expected to see something like that!

I once saw a gray fox 25 feet up a tree eating wild grapes. It was probably 20 years ago and still one of the coolest things I've seen in the woods. Wow saying 20 years ago is making me feel old!

Great pic and had to be neat to see.  Sure would be weird to be in a treestand and see one in the tree.

Bizarre.. Always heard grey fox would climb trees, but not so much red fox.

Seen grey fox in trees several times but never a red.........   Wow

Nice picture. I have never seen a red fox up a tree. I knew they would eat apples, but had no idea they would climb to do it.

I recently spotted a woodchuck climbing up one of our apple trees !     Didn't know they did that !

I saw one climb a tree many years ago. To be fair, I was shooting at him at the time,  so that probably helped with motivation.

That being that a grey is closer to a cat and red to a dog.

Woodchucks, fox, bear, have to get to where food is.....

So, I've watched him do this a couple of times now. To get into the tree he starts out about 5 feet from the base of the tree. From a standing start he takes a couple of quick steps toward the tree, launches himself upwards, hits the tree trunk about 3 feet off the ground with his front feet and effortlessly propels himself into the crotch of the tree. He can do it a lot faster than I can explain it!

He does not seem to have any fear of falling whatsoever. I saw him jump down to the ground from a limb that is an honest 8 foot off the ground.
