Hmm. OK, that makes sense. What is 'near' in your usage, please? I'm pretty certain that if there was a den on our side of the hill, I'd know about it, as our pair of labs would for sure be investigating any coyote den smells up close, as they run around back there.

There are a couple of bold red foxes running the neighborhood lately, ones who will literally follow along behind or to the side, in people's yards, some 50 yards from the wife as she walks the dogs. Of course, the dogs go positively bananas when they see the foxes.

I think the video was taken in December. Maybe November. Anyway, thank you for your input.
