Last time I saw a fox out in the open like that during the day, it began attacking people a little while later. Turns out the poor thing had rabies. It is totally uncharacteristic for a fox to be out in the open like that, and I can almost assure you it is sick or hurt in some form.

Wouldn’t be the first time a stranger has asked to take pics of my plump melons.

They're fairly north, top side of Lake Simcoe so you often see deer, coyotes and sometimes black bears. That's the fist time I've seen a wild fox, it was pretty tiny I thought someone had left a puppy out, it wasn't until I got a little closer that I realized it was a fox.
I thought the same thing. I didn't get very close, it was on the other side of the road. Hard to tell from the pic but it looked like it had mange on it's hind quarters.

We used to have one around the warehouse that would come around the outdoor dining area and we could see him from inside. Some dumb fucks would try to get up close and I guess catch it? Idk but the fox would take off. Probably was eating leftovers and the bigass rats around there haha.

I was hauling 4 gallon plastic jugs of rain water to the other house for the tomatoes and one leaked out.
So I cleaned out the back of the truck for the first time since I bought it in 2017.
I found tools I forgot I had and an old mouse nest from winter in one of the half dozen old blankets and quilts I had on the bottom.
And $8.52 in change. This is better than a scratch ticket. Waiting for a big old comforter to dry in dryer that was on the bottom, reboxing everything so it's more user friendly for the 2023 cleaning. Lol.

Fox, I guess it all depends on where your at.......the more people the less they want to be out. I've seen plenty of fox out during the day. We had a mom that lived 150' off the deck that came back every year and had new pups. She knew we where not a threat.........she'd sit and watch her pups play all day. A few years ago she got hit by a car and I haven't seen any close. Fuckin ground hogs live in the burrow and fuck up the garden. Miss the fox

The first time I heard a fox at night, I thought “shit; what Jurassic Park escapee is this?”

I went 35 years without seeing a fox locally here. Then, whilst attending a wake for a lifelong friend, I stepped out away from the crowd and was greeted by the very first fox I'd ever seen in the area. Just sitting there, in the driveway. We stared at each other for a while until it slowly sauntered off.
Animals can surely sense energy. It's a powerful thing to behold.

Bobcats having sex will leave you unwilling to go to the outhouse after dark. I was about four and I learned to take care of business before the sun went down.

Oh, the stories I have!! I only have 2 rentals left, and ironically they were the first 2 I bought, with a childhood friend, who i caught stealing from me to the tune of over 10k that I could prove. Forced him to sell his half to me cheap about a decade ago. This place has been rescued many times and has seen it all.
Back 25 years ago, there was a little old lady living next door, She called me up one evening to inform me there were kids having oral sex under her bedroom window, keeping her awake. I told them the next day if they were gonna have parties like that, they needed to invite me! That group was a fraternity and trashed the place. 6 kegs on the living room floor and anyone could come drink for $5. People putting cigarettes out on the carpet, sex everywhere, booze galore. I've been sued a few times. There's been stabbings there, you name it. I do seem to have gotten better at screening kids, lol. I tell them right up front now, NO BULLSHIT! I still get some, of course,
It's in a prime student area, and has never been empty, even now with the pandemic it's leased through next year. I use to have a bunch of them, now I just want to bitchslap everyone of them!! I am just kicking one out for his excessive drinking...Nice, intelligent kid, but he starts drinking Genesee beer about 10 am every day....you can smell it in the basement he's spilled so much!

Barn owls are the ones that usually make me jump in the evenings. Their screech has some volume.

Saw one at a distance but never heard one without Attenborough’s soothing wheeze of narration.
Anyway that sounds like, well, a big cat. Scary enough but familiar.
I couldn’t place that odd coughing shout the fox made, and the unfamiliarity allowed my mind to yodel “big reptile! Almost sure!1! run hide”

Once when I was new to the gold country, I was enjoying the black skies and pointing my binos at random deep-sky targets that never showed in the suburbs.
A screech owl flew maybe 10 feet over my head and let rip with that broken-glass scream it makes.
I jumped and almost dropped my Fujinons onto the unforgiving composite of laterite clay and rock we called dirt.
