A red fox is not going to let you run into it with your cane. They cover a fairly large area, it’s Deanne is probably not in your yard at all. Do not leave food or trash that it can get to you because they are attracted to that kind of thing. We humans need to learn to live with wild life, they were here first and we keep taking over their space. my iPhone<br><div dir="ltr"><br>On Apr 29, 2019, at 1:45 PM, Ericka via Community-Service <<a href="mailto:community-service@nfbnet.org">community-service@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">I don’t know how to help your Georgia.

Although, I know foxes are smart and runs away from you but what if you stumble on its den/lair/home? "Oh foxy sorry!
