      @@avabow5979 this is 100 true. Just wanted to add that foxes are naturally very curious and will come up to humans even if they aren't being fed.
      There was a family of foxes that lived in my backyard. No one was feeding them as I live in the country with no close neighbors. The mom fox and her kits would come up to me when I got home from work and smell me. I never fed them or pet them but they were close enough to be able to. The kits would also leave dead animals at my doorstep. Multiple times. They viewed me as one of their own. Even tho I did my best not to interact with them. They are such a cool animal.

    I once fed a wild fox. Over time, it ate from a bowl, then from my hand, then it would come into my house to eat. It all changed one day when it locked me out of my own house, claimed squatters rights, and I had to live in the field for months before the courts sorted it out.

    My backyard was crazy growing up. We had Chico the Red Fox, Panda the St. Bernard/Pit Bull mix and two lovely plump white rabbits named Snowball and Blizzard. Some days Chico and Panda chased the rabbits. Some days the rabbits chased Chico and Panda. It wasn't at all uncommon to see all four panting heavily side by side under the maple tree after a good afternoon summer chase session. Dad said that Mom could single handily ruin any animal and make them go against the natural order of things.
    When Panda wasn't chasing the fox or the rabbits, she loved using her nose to push bricks around the yard. Grandpa was able to walk into our backyard with a white handkerchief and a few clicking sounds and call wild squirrels down from the trees. I spent hours as a teenager trying to duplicate his sounds and movements but just didn't have the magic.
    When I retire, I hope to spend my days watching the wild animals and hopefully making a special friend or two.

      As for hunting animals, I personally find it distasteful but in the UK as deer and boars no longer have natural predators, their numbers have to kept down by other means usually by hunting or culling. Both animals can be extremely destructive when overpopulated.
      I’m not denying some of the things humans do to the animal kingdom are distasteful or sometimes downright evil, but what makes you think a video about an old bloke and his local Fox is the place for you to lecture people and then go on to insult their beliefs when they tell you to get lost.

    Awww...so sweet. I have a young fox that comes around as well. I have no idea what he's been eating other than what the neighborhood squirrels are eating but I've seen him drinking often from the water dish I leave out for the wild critters. Saw him last week while he played in the grass like a puppy. So cute!

    Foxes are really smart . they will trust individuals they know well and not all humans. I have a vixen visit me every evening in the spring and autumn for food. Don't know where she goes in the summer but what a healthy looking fox she is. The good thing is she only trusts me and will be elusive if somebody else is around. Wonderful creatures.

      REALLY, so you follow this vixen around everywhere she goes? You feel that you have some special gift that this fox will only approach you? As far as you know there may be several homes or farms in your area that this same fox visits, and the person at that home thinks the same thing as you. As you yourself stated..."FOXES ARE REALLY SMART". So this fox can be smart enough to fool you and a lot of other people in the area where you live.
