Red Fox

Appearance & Identification

Rusty-red fur with white underparts, black "stockings" on legs, and a white-tipped tail.

Preferred Habitat

Agricultural edges, brushy fencerows, and open hardwoods.

Seasonal Behavior

Highly dependent on scent. Known for "mousing" in open fields where they pounce on subnivean (under-snow) rodents.

Recommended Tactics

Regional Trapping Sets for Red Fox: Focus on "Post Sets" on the high points of hay fields or "Dirt-Hole Sets" with red fox urine to trigger territorial instincts. [Learn Fox Trapping Sets here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0awnTqTxU9U)
