The past two years, we had fox dens on the properties on either side of ours. Led to lots of traffic and much squirrel-poaching until the kits were able to get out and about and hunt for themselves. This year, we've had just passers-by and through. Probably just coincidence, but coyotes and foxes don't get along. As the coyotes press inward, they will tend to drive the foxes away. Coyotes are much less visible, so a seeming absence of foxes may mean an actual presence of coyotes.
