Gray Fox?

Caught this critter on my cam tonight. I’m thinking it may be a Gray Fox. What say yall?

It's hard to tell without color..

Most of the foxes you see around here are grey's....its hard to tell sometimes since they are not actually grey. I have seen solid grey foxes (some black but no red at all) but they are few and far between....

I’d definitely say it’s a gray fox. I haven’t seen one in several months, and then I’ve seen 4 in the last week. I don’t know if it’s their mating season or what, but they are definitely moving a lot right now.

Yes sir. Like Chef Josh said, a lot of activity right now. I have some in my yard, from time to time. The old timers called em red sided grays for obvious reasons- fun fact
Seen one yesterday on a back road. Overwhelmed by his sniffer. Almost unfazed when we drove up on him. This is one from my yard.

Got a video of the little fox.

Gray foxes have retractable claws like a cat and climb trees easily. Red foxes are not good climbers and don't have retractable claws.
