A couple of comments.
One, Gray Fox can climb trees. They are one of the few canines to be
able to do this task. I believe that they even have retractable claws
like a cat. This is very unique.
Two, they are not overly shy, at least according to folks I know who do
a lot of hunting or predator management. They are well known to come
into distress calls to investigate, and are well known to walk right up
to the source, even if it is a hunter with a call box. So the story
Karen told of being on a horse makes a little more sense if you
understand they aren't as shy as one might think. They are fairly
nocturnal which explains why we don't see them much.
