PRDATR Report post Posted September 16, 2016 I would like to get a Kit Fox later in the year and I have seen gray fox quite a bit but does anyone know if they have a specific range or type of habitat they can be found in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest akaspecials Report post Posted September 16, 2016 I've also only seen them at night. Typically 2000-4000 feet in the desert. Seen them in lush desert and not so lush desert. Leave some food in your tent and they'll inevitably come rusting around at some god awful hour... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted September 16, 2016 After an evening of predator calling I had two follow me 5 miles back to my vehicle. Of course having a squeaky toy in my pocket helped too. Had no inclination to shoot them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted September 16, 2016 I see them near rocky hills in the desert too. Places I'd think to call for grey fox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WampusCat Report post Posted September 17, 2016 There was a time when I wanted to call one in after bumping into a couple of them. That changed after I really discovered their whereabouts and habits while targeting/trapping other species. They live in the creosote flats and when you stumble across a dense population of them, they will plug your traps and call stands for days. I let so many of them go only to have another in the trap in the AM. I have trapped 6 in one trap consecutively over 6 nights. They are cool critters but a pest when targeting spotted bellies on the flats. This pic is indicative of the habitat I find them in the most. This was one of the biggest and most colorful ones I've ever caught. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperwrx Report post Posted September 18, 2016 You'll find them in the desert flats. Maricopa, Marana, Stanfield, Casa Grande, Florence..... they are all over. I've trapped lot of them in case traps and even a few footholds. Had a few get chomped on my coyotes in my footholds out near Gila Bend. Called in several in my life but always on the first stand of the morning. They live in holes in the ground on the flats and will come into standard grey fox distress or cottontail distress. Pelts are quite nice and soft but the market is next to nothing. Most I ever got was $12. Had a few graduate students out of ASU who paid me $20 for a whole carcass if there were no bones broken. I delivered them five or six. Acetone injection. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatrickJr Report post Posted October 20, 2016 I really want to call one in. it seems like they are annoying to those who are around them alot. If anyone wants to send me to a spot where i can just go get one, that would be awesome. Id like to have the skin tanned to hang up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperwrx Report post Posted October 20, 2016 Those are nice sized kit fox. If you were able to call them in at 2PM I bet you were right on top of their den when you began calling. Hope you skinned them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
