[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2936484, member: 91783"] Other than not having a white tip on its tail it looks like several of the red fox that I have taken. The male fox in my area will go in the 20 - 25 lb. range. Several of the red fox in my area have the darker coloration and lighter hips. In the 70's and early 80's there were several fox farms in this area and the black color as well as what they called fire and ice, a kind of pinkish colored fox, were specialties that were a prized pairing of the red fox and were bred so as to make more of that coloring of fox for the fur market. The black colored was called a blue fox, but they were just a color faze of the red fox and there was also red fox that actually had a black colored cross on their front shoulders, much like donkeys do. I caught one red fox that had snow white legs from the feet up to nearly halfway up its legs. I had it tanned and made into a wall rug for the rancher I got it on, as he had asked me to because he had seen it a few times and thought it was pretty. I don't have any idea as to what the fur prices are at this time as I haven't sold any fur in several years. When doing predator control work any of the prime furs were turned in and put up to be sold at auction with that money going back into the program but most of the problem animals were taken when the furs weren't prime, to stop them from killing livestock.
