What kind of fox was it? Apparently, lots of animals are milling about everywhere that people are staying inside.
The iconic red fox of the Fox River Valley here in Illinois. It was fully mature and absolutely magnificent. I think this one has been using my yard as a home base. That may be why I haven't had any rabbits in my yard(s) the last couple of years.
I have areas of my yard(s) that are a bit overgrown. I tell my wife that's called "xeriscaping," which is basically letting shit grow any which it wants, but I think she sees through my bullshit.
