Found a fresh red fox on my way home tonight. Never tanned a hide so I may have to do some reading. Couldn't resist picking it up. It's in my freezer now

lucky bugger!! >:(

Yep,good find,sometimes this time of year they are pretty rough tho,better than nothing but not prime time for hides. ;)

I saw one yesterday morning on my way to an appt. It looked like it had just been hit by a car, but did not look too badly damaged as I rode by. I would have loved to have stopped and picked it up, but was running late.

The Wife Finds Fox in the Freezer . . . I can imagine the headline. Divorce Court here we go. ;)

He actually looked really good. Fur was nice and clean. I told the mrs about my new friend in the freezer. It should make a nice quiver

If my wife can live with 7 copperheads, a cottonmouth, and a timber rattler in the freezer I would think a fox would be nothing.

Please tell me that it did not suddenly come back to live, leap up and savagely attack your arm and that you had to choke the life out of it!!! >:D
Other than that, congrats! To quote the philosopher, poet and large animal veterinarian, Baxter Black,
"For the sake of a garment,
Recycle that varmint!
It's tacky to just hit and run."

I was a trapper and hunter from birth.
If you found a fur bearing creature in the late 80's (road kill) or hunted it was
worth taking it to a fur buyer. They had to give you at least a buck for it.
No idea about today. But back in the good ole days a large coon was worth $35.
Red fox $125.
Sure I put one in my trunk (in a plastic bag I always carried). I used my truck to work and hunt. This find was on a Friday night out to dinner with my wife.
I drove a big Ford Galaxy, I think.
Fast forward a week or so------ Yeah a warm week in October---

You sound like me, I carry a leather glove and a gallon ziploc bag in my car for road kill snakes. I usually just throw them in the floorboard.

That's cool,
Just don't leave them there for a week or so in mild weather.
