death_by_motorboat Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) so how many are in a pack? its said there are only 6 packs in north america. how many live together? how many kills does an average hunter get per year, and how many hunters? Edited February 12, 2018 by mumbojummie13
death_by_motorboat Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 i am just learning about fox hunting and the encyclodedia isnt doing much for a specific rate on birth rate/population/death.. i am wondering if its a huge sport or a small class of hunters. i was wondering if other problems might arise like endangered species status or illegal fur trading, on a species like american red fox. at an online auction, i saw a picture of the furs stacked and bundled in about 50 hides, but ive never seen more than that as far as fur trading as an industry. i dont know if trapping is more popular than hunting. honestly, i would never hunt a fox unless i was starving. there are squirrels, doves, and pigeons for that. i am more of an environmentalist, but who better to ask than the hunters? a couple other questions come up.
death_by_motorboat Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) deer. unless foxes threaten something im unaware of. if a fox was being a nuisance at my campsite id kill it. Edited February 13, 2018 by mumbojummie13

For the first questions, foxes aren't pack animals. Numbers will vary, but they tend to live with mates/offspring Couldn't tell you number of average kills, or hunters. Even if I could: what region of the world?

death_by_motorboat Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 tanned hides, ready for sale

Raptorpat Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 I don't think fox hunting is as widespread as it once was, and I don't think anyone actually does the fox hunting sport where the rich people ride the horses that chase after the dogs that scare the foxes out of hiding. 1
