    Video from Sportsman Channel on Facebook if link doesn't work.

    Interesting video, and another reason why I need to do more predator control. Even thought about trapping. Coyotes get a lot of attention but you forget about fox.

    Great shot.
    That fox was honed in and would have most likely killed it if not for the intervention

    Cool video. After the fox is spooked off you can just watch the fawn suffer through the affects of the adrenaline surging through it, I though it was going to collapse/pass out there for a second. Or it could've just been trying to decide if it should run to mom or stay still (hidden in its mind).

    Cool catch, that fox would have been shot dead before the attack even took place if it was on my land. Nature is rough !

    Fox have to eat too, we need diversity in the forest. Even though I am anti coyote and wolf.

    That's a good point. Nature is continuous.

    That was cool. I have seen Mule Deer Does chase of Coyotes before, but I have never seen a fox get chased off or a fox attack a fawn.

    Very cool. I’ve never really considered a fox attacking one.
