Isn't he handsome?

My buddy Mark went up to the Bolt Hole for a couple of days (his cabin is across the street) to check on things. He also checked a couple of game cameras he set up a short distance from my garage. Besides the expected snowshoe hare and lots of fisher pictures there was this one of a Red Fox.

I had a family of Gray Foxes living beneath the workshop section of the garage a few years back. They kept me free of mice but I didn't appreciate them using the gravel floor section of the garage as their "indoor" toilet.

When you put out a dead mouse (or a red squirrel) it would be gone the next morning thanks to the clean-up crew.
