Opinion: Cutting weight?
There was a bright red spot of blood in the track and I wondered how the fox had gotten the injury. Was it from a sharp piece of ice or stone? It was bleeding pretty good... I followed the tracks through the woods and it didn’t seem to be letting up. Every step had a bright red spot in it.
I don’t see the foxes very often. As near as I can tell there’s two, but I have never seen them together. I found the den earlier this year, more by smell than by sight — they had a hauled a deer head back to the den and it was pretty rank.
I imagined the pups rolling it around like a ball, chewing on it. Fox dens typically have a host of items near them. Usually bones and feathers. A few years ago I found a den not far from town and it was littered with chicken and pheasant feathers.
