its sometimes hard to figure out if its a fox i know a gray fox will tap a tree like a coon i aint sure about a red fox if i had one i thought was running a fox i would find a fox pen and get where you can see and when the fox comes by and the hound comes have a shock collar on him and bust him good dont say nothing to him he will think the fox did it to him put him in the box take him to where you can tree a coon if you can knock it out to him if not really praise him on the tree then take him back to the fox pen in 2 or 3 days and try it again he will soon learn not to mess with a fox if he hard headed might take a few times jmo
