Funny how things thrive when we don't interfere? Red fox are one of my favorite animals to photograph, the population here in PA isn't what it used to be. They are slowly making a comeback as less & less people trap. I've seen a couple of gray fox over the last couple of years, they are more rare here than the red. Hell, up until just about 10 years ago the rich folk here still went out on horseback hunting with their hounds. They still go out to play but they don't hunt wild fox, they have their own game preserve that they stock animals with. The Ring neck pheasant hunt is a joke, the birds are practically pets. I could pull my car over & catch one with my hands I'd bet. It's still a great site, "hunters" on horseback & a pack of about 50 hounds. I have a friend who is a photographer & they used to hire him to cover the event.
