Fox Den 2021


Recommended Posts

This is the annual den that's less than 50 yards from our bedroom window. Kits emerged last Thursday night/Friday morning. Most years Momma relocates them after they are mobile enough. Last year her litter hung around til August which was a pain. We have a little dog, an outdoor cat, and a chicken coop 75 yards from the den site. One night in August, there was a commotion and when I flipped on the lights four of them had our cat surrounded. I'll give them a week or so to relocate before I urge them along.

For my urging, I drop a towel soaked with ammonia near one of the den entrances, and a transistor radio in a plastic bag with fresh batteries and on half-volume goes in the hole. They don't like any of that.

Very cool, but you may not want to post your kicking them out, don’t forget the rent relief is still in action :derisive:

Haha, I like seeing them. Last year was the first year they stayed more than a week or two. And as they got older, they got bolder.

Pulled some cards yesterday. There were only two kits hanging around until mid-May, and then only one that hung around until the end of May. They are only there periodically now. A few days of high activity and then nothing for a week or two. Except for a woodchuck moving in, it's been all quiet since May 27th. I did see a roadkill kit about a mile down the road a few weeks ago.

Somebody needs to try to lock up their Guinea fowl. I think this is the third one.
