Not looking right now Al , I have a good one down in Tuckerton.
Here is a beautiful red I just picked from her last week. I snared it in January along a creek bottom.

That is a terrific mount. My monitor could be distorting the fox's coloring, but that appears to me to be what is referred to as a "smoky red".

Al,

Trapping for fox starts 11-15-11 and runs to 3-15-12.

The hunting seasons are quite varied.
Fox and coyote are lumped together in the game laws.
You can hunt them right now with a bow. Starting November 12 and running until March 15, 2012, you can hunt them with a gun in daylight hours. Then in January, for a $2.00 permit, you can hunt day and night.
Bag limits are unlimited for both coyote and fox.

Scroll to page 7 of 14 for the particulars.

I didn't see the info in there about hunting at night.You can't hunt deer at night and the only night hunting i was aware of was coon and that was with dogs.Do you hunt fox and coyotes with dogs?Do you have to have dogs? I always thought night hunting of deer at least with a bow would make sense.The go nocturnal during hunting season anyway,moreso then in the summer.With a bow your forced to hunt close range anyway and during a full moon hunting fields i wouldn't think there should be a problem but then again there are the nitwits that shoot other people in broad daylight.Imagine them on the loose at night.

The Hunter's full moon is just ending, with it peaking the 11th of this week. In Native American tradition, it is a time when hunting began under the autumn moonlit night to stockpile food for the coming winter.

Look at the table on the page that I referenced above Al. The hunting hours are listed for the January permit season for both night and day. The only restriction is no muzzleloaders at night, shotgun only.
You can only use dogs in daylight during the regular non-permit season which runs concurrent with the permit seaeson, if that makes any sense. Don't worry, it doesn't.
Raccooon hunting can be done at night with dogs.

This hunting stuff is getting tough on this old bird. I am posting this at 2:30 a.m. because I am leaving the house right now for the South Zone waterfowl opener today !
