If they were MILFs, I would've said MILFs and provided the required pictures.

I've have one that eats the rabbits that live under my neighbors deck. They don't bother anyone and I've only seen them a couple of times. It's the squirrels around here that tear apart trash.

They will eat your garden vegetables. We have one living over in the cove next to the neighborhood where I live. The man who fixed my A/C has been fighting to keep them out of his garden.

SF Park & Rec brought in red foxes to control the rodents. I'd see them when I worked the graveyard. Now there's coyotes in the city. I hope they didn't eat the foxes.

I've got a pair behind my house that I see occasionally.
Trapped both a while back when I had a trap out trying to get the skunk that sprayed my dogs. Foxes are apparently suckers for orange peels and chocolate chip cookies cause they didn't learn and had to let one out of the trap every morning for a week while the other hovered nearby. I like them because I haven't seen many rodents and they get rid of my gut piles pretty quick.

Saw one run past the house after work one night last year, but that's the only one I've seen in our neighborhood. I sometimes bowhunt in a suburban patch of forest behind my dad's place and have seen several foxes. That's a cool animal to watch when they don't know you're there. The way they move through the brush as they're hunting is pretty darned cool.

I saw a fox in a client's backyard in urban San Diego (near the airport).
Thought it was a coyote at first, nope. Client said it is semi tame and has been a regular visitor for years. It sleeps on their patio furniture some nights. He used to have a rat problem until the fox showed up, hasn't seen a rat since. Our hood is currently overrun with suburban coyotes. I get pics of the damn things on my game cam every couple of nights. Can't let my dogs out unsupervised anymore. |

We had a family last summer with a den a couple of streets over. A mated pair with 2 or 3 little one's. I saw the adults many times cruising through my yard, even calmly walked past me more than a few times on the hunt for squirrels while I was out in the driveway. The local crow's would make a huge racket whenever they saw them.

About 10 years ago we had a really mangy gray fox that was getting very aggressive towards animals and people out working in their yards. I called DNR and asked for help trapping it. Guy at DNR asked me if I owned a gun.
Point taken sir! |

We've got a den that use my property and the surrounding area as their stomping grounds. They've done us no harm. The worst thing about them is the noises they make at night when they're playing and screwing around. Scares the hell out of the guests.

Foxes are not that ferocious compared to other predators such as a coyote. |

Food will be the same thing as foxes in rural areas - anything they can get in their mouths but mainly rodents, ground nesting birds & eggs, small reptiles, etc... They should not bother any dogs or cats, they are not coyotes.

I work in a municipality that is basically a suburb of St Louis. Lots of business and retail areas with some wooded areas, but not vast tracts or anything. We have what I would consider a large and healthy population of red foxes that live in our area. I'm assuming they feed off of rabbits, squirrels, and stray cats because we've seen a few different pups in a litter all piled up and staring at us from cover while we drive around on midnights.
Drive around an apartment complex and saw 5 or 6 sets of yellow green eyes staring at me from the reflected light from my spotlight....I thought it was a litter of raccoons and turned out the light to watch them and it turned out to be a litter of fox pups that were curious about my car and then went right back to playing with each other after a few minutes. One time while running code to a domestic assault in progress I almost wadded up a Crown Vic when a large-ish fox dashed out right in front of my car and I locked up the brakes trying to avoid hitting it. Thankfully, both the fox and my patrol car escaped without injury.......I was cussing up a blue streak though..... |

Little kids would ask why I had a fox on a leash and if it was okay to pet her.  So yeah, pretty common around here.

Found a male red fox dead in my back yard last week; same day found a 20+lb raccoon walking around in my yard in the middle of the day. Both inflicted with canine distemper, bad case of it going around in my county apparently. Killing off a whole lot of wildlife according to the local animal services cop.

The fox jumped up to the top of a 4ft conc block wall and then down into someone's yard. |

I'm about 1.5 miles west of a forest preserve so it's not unusual to see all kinds of animals. Far as I know, we don't really have any coyotes, but every town west of mine has had little dogs snatched up by coyotes on a regular basis over the past few years. Particularly in neighborhoods next to forest preserves. |
