That fox number is insane, I wonder how many he's caught in the years from then till now.

They seem to be increasing in the province but I doubt they will ever be plentiful. I think our winters will keep their numbers low, and confined to the south.
Dad talked a lot about seeing Skunks in the Peace district when he moved here but not Raccoon.
He had learned trapping by trapping Raccoon in Nova Scotia when he was a kid but he often said he had never seen one west of Thunder Bay.
I saw them in Vancouver when I lived there in the early seventies. They were all over the place down there.
I hear reports of them here, some from family members but I've never seen one here or even a track of one.
