Great pics and story! I'm so jealous! Nice neighborhood! 😄
glass half foolWatching wild life never gets boring .No mater how many truly amazing things you have seen you never seen it all. Nice pictures .
Thanks Jim in IdahoI gotta agree with Bill....no way that fox would want to tackle a bobcat. Some of the bobcats around here weigh as much as 50lbs, and would be dangerous for an unarmed human. The biggest fox I've ever seen only weighed 15lbs....ain't much to 'em.

ole miss rebelGreat photo shoots! Rare captions. I've had close bobcat encounters, disrupted one at dusk while it was hunting, roared at me like a bear growling. Your fox is merely watching the cat hunting, it knows better than to mess with the claws.
I thought of rabies this morning. We were walking the dog and ran into a couple of goose hunters. They'd found a dead fox in the pasture while setting decoys. No sign of gunshot wounds, etc.Thanks Jim in Idaho
Looks like those cats surly eat well..
With reports of rabies things can turn for the worse quickly
The foxes were out again this morning
Probably poison used to kill coyotes got the fox. Poison is a horrible way to kill and is very indiscriminate. I knew a man who traveled through Nebraska with his dogs. He let them run loose a minute in the country to exercise, they found poisoned bait for coyotes & it killed them both, sad.I thought of rabies this morning.

As a child, I lost a German Shephard to poison the county put out. Knowing the people involved, I'd say it's highly unlikely in this case, though the fox could have picked it up somewhere else, and didn't die for a while. I saw my German Shephard kill and eat the ground squirrel that had ingested the strychnine. It took a couple of hours for the poison to take effect. You just never know what moron is going to put poison out. Every now and then you read reports of somebody poisoning dogs, cats, etc.Thank You
That’s very sad to read…
I’ve heard in the past that farmers have placed poisonous items also
