So, I did get get in a fight with a fox. They were a problem for a while. It was especially bad one year about four years ago. My neighbor killed a couple with a shotgun. One of them came up on the back porch with him. After he had seen it in the yard he went and got his gun and it came right up on the porch.
That same summer, I was I was in my driveway building a ladder rack for a truck. A different neighbor usually sneaks up on me when he sees me outside, just to visit. I was holding a short forked piece of metal about 16 inches long, looking at the terrible diagram spread on the tailgate. Well I heard the gravel roll (assuming it was my neighbor) and turned around just in time to catch a fox by the neck with a pole. What happened was, he was so close, I didn?t even have time to swing. I could only go straight down and push him away, while stepping back. I stumbled and fell, but he stayed at the end of the pole, struggling as I get up.
Next thing you know I?m standing there holding a fox in the air with its neck stuck in the fork somehow. I slammed him down once, came back up for a second go at him, and he slung off during the second roundhouse slam and landed about 10 feet from me. He rolled over, stood back up and looked at me and came at me again. This time is swung the pipe like a golf club and he went about 15 feet and laid there twitching. I went ape poo on him with the post. I never knew 5 seconds could take it out of you so fast. I sat on the ground in the driveway just to catch my breath.
