Polar foxes
« on: July 25, 2004, 10:00:55 AM »
About three years ago, I was tracking polar fox in the north of Iceland.  After a considerable walk I come upon an empty layer with tracks of up to 8 adult animals.  Now I think to myself "there can't be 8 adult foxes living in close quarters....that just doesn't happen.

I'm in a big valley, trackin the group down.  I come over a ridge and see all 8 foxes herding sheep back and forth, working together as a team to select the one they wanted to kill.

I've never seen this activity with foxes, all hunters and nature specialists tell me   foxes don't hunt in packs!!
I sport a hefty 11-87 for my benefit as a proud waterfowler......

I tracked down and shot four of them.  They were all males, couple of years old.
