Medic Joe, I appreciate the knowledge and experience you bring to this forum. It is very hard at times to function at a level you know you are capable of and still just cannot seem to put things together the way you would like to. The stroke has obviously left you struggling at times, I encourage you to keep on keeping on and using the capabilities you have. Never give up, God can and will help if you will ask.(y)

I'm good to go still. If I shared every Spiritual experience I've had in life. 99.9% of people, would not believe it true. I believe all things in life us humans endure. Boils down to, a test of OUR OWN FAITH with God. God tries us all both good & the bad. To see if we turn on him, believe in him. Or do not believe he exists. I know for a FACT he does. As for my predator observations/hunting experiences. At times what I post are the best of my memory. I realize sometimes I quote myself & it ends up not being as accurate as I once knew or can recall. It is what it is type of thing. Furthermore, I could care less if another experienced hunter disagrees or not. We ALL have our own experiences to fall back on. What we recall that is. What is a fact is. I share to the less experienced hunter or the new hunter. I could care less what an experienced knows or doesn't know. I don't care to talk to them anyway, for the most part. One way or the other I don't care about them. Most predator hunters I believe are decent men/women, that I appreciate.

Thanks for the kind words. God bless you.

Above is another litter I watched grow up. There were 5 kits in this litter. The female reared them in a field drive culvert tube. Then dug an Earthen den nearby in a field. As they grew older. She moved them back & forth from the culvert tube to the earthen den & back & forth. Finally she moved them all 1/2 mile away. To another earthen den. This is the only litter I observed. Whereas, the female moved them from one place to another so often.

Red Fox are awesome fighters. When fighting hounds, even in the act of being killed. They will clamp onto a dog & not let go until they die. They are all grit in a battle to the death.
 
Another litter I observed as they matured. This litter there were 5 kits. Which is pretty much the norm amount of kits. From of all of the litters I've watched grow up. This litter the female was killed on a nearby highway when the kits were 5+ wks old. Which is right around the time they are typically weaned. After the female was killed. The male took over her duties rearing their kits. An aspect that was common with Red Fox litters I've seen numerous times was. The male would drop his kills at the main entrance hole. Coyotes would do the same thing. Here are a few of those 5 kits. They are 8+ wks old in this pic.
