Will Gavit Finds a Fox Den on his Farm Monday
While working on a farm across the road from Lawhead Lake, which is
about six miles southwest of Lake Odessa, Will Gavit on Monday located a
fox den with at least six three or four month-old fox pups in it. The
spot was littered up with pheasant and chicken feathers, which likely
accounts for the apparent scarcity of pheasants on his place and the
recent loss of several of Wesley Booher's chickens, Mr. Booher being his
nearest neighbor. Will succeeded in getting within gunshot of the adult
fox, but he didn't have a gun along. However, he is making plans for
getting her later on, but expects in the next few days to get a gang
together to clean out the den and put the pups in a cage for the summer.
Mr. Gavit says that although he hasn't dug out a fox den in a good many
years, he has dug out skunks and other like predators and doesn't think
he will have much trouble in bagging this mess of varmints alive.
