I’ve got a game camera set up in the corner of my field. I’ve watched a diminutive red fox almost every night. The funny thing is my neighbor’s cat hangs around down there at night, too. Though I haven’t caught them in the same picture, I have caught them minutes apart, and It’s obvious that they are not afraid of each other, or are predator and prey. Both are just hunting mice and moles and such. I don’t think they are best buddies, but it’s obvious that they get along just fine.
Incidently, there are a ton of coyotes in Dinwiddie, but I’ve been lucky, they have stayed over across the road from my patch of earth. The farm over there is a few hundred acres, and it backs up to timber land that probable is several thousand acres. So they have everything they want over there. The bears are the same way. If you could take a census, I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t a dozen or more bears inning around. Mostly sows, cubs or yearlings.
ArcticBuc, I’m headed to Barrow next September. And then back down to Anchorage for a few days, then across Northern Canada for a couple of weeks. May I reach out to you soon to discuss northern travel and get some advice?
