I was up at Warm Lake for some night fishing a couple days ago and had a unique experience that made me wonder how many other ice anglers have had similar encounters. It was a very dark night, my headlamp was almost dead and I only had about a 20' ft field of view. I had just gotten set up when 2 red fox came right up to within 2-3' ft. of me! I was just looking at my flasher and jigging when I got a wierd feeling and looked behind me and there was a pair of glowing eyes circling in with another set to my left creeping slowly in. My first thought was wolves so I instantly dropped my rod and beer, grabbed for my pistol which is kept in my front pocket ready to go for man or beast and took a few steps back while quickly scanning the area for any more potential threats. After what seemed liked minutes but took only a few seconds later they moved in a little closer into the light and I was able to discern the 2 invaders were indeed fox and not wolves. I took a deep sigh of relief as I put my piece away and picked my rod and what was left of my beer off the ice. These things were almost certainly being fed as they had zero fear of me,walking right up, sniffing around, circling my jawjackers. At that moment my only fish of the night came on a jawjacker that I thought a fox bumped only to see the rod bend with a trout on it. One of the fox even grabbed my bag of corn and ran only to drop it a short distance away after I ran after it...sneaky *****! That made me think, anyone ever go hunting while fishing? Here in Idaho red fox may be hunted, however, not in Valley County where I was at the time. I can only imagine all the tickets I could have gotten as well- baiting, hunting with lights, drinking while hunting, etc. I would like to hear some other folks' stories and experiences along these lines. Any trophies other than fish come off the ice?
