the red fox was intoduced to you country by the brittish settlers??? Do you still have many red or is it mostly your native grey fox you hunt?? They climb trees dont they to avoid hounds??
We have both here, and coyotes. I hardly ever see a grey any more. I see a few reds every year. The coyotes outnumber the fox around here about 10 to 1.
Can a coyote hybridise with a fox? Have you ever heard tell of one? Dogs and wolves yes, Foxes, No.
