Operation Fox Hunt: Agent 008: Man on a Mission

For the past few weeks we have had a Gray Fox living out in our woods! I have not seen it but my dad has!
So this morning I went on a mission to track the fox down and take a picture of it!

My first stop was our water spicket outside by our barn!
Almost every day for the last few weeks, the fox has come down to our water spicket to look around to see what he/she can find. Thankfully it takes its walk before my ducks get let out!
Objective #1: Look for fox tracks at the water spicket!
I was surprised to see that there were no fox tracks at the spicket! Very interesting! HMMMMMMM!

So I headed out through the woods to see what I could see!
Objective #2: Look for fox tracks in the woods!
Following my dads ATV trail, I again found no tracks in our woods that belonged to the fox!
But there were other tracks out there!

I came across tracks of a Field Mouse.
So I determined to head to a grove of tall shrubs and hide there!

 Objective #3: Hide in the shrubs and look for the fox!
After I Plowed through a patch of briar's and forged a three foot snow drift, I arrived at the shrubs. I climbed into the middle of them and waited, but soon realized that I was directly under some power lines.
I don't mind things that go BOOM or POW, but things that go ZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP give me the tingles! (Literally!!!!)

So I left my hideout to look for his den! But when I got to where I thought his den was, it was  under two feet of snow!

Oh well! Guess you can't win all of them!
Time for Agent 008 to head back to HQ and get a cup of hot chocolate!
But believe you me, I won't rest till I see that fox with my own two eyes!
