My fox terrier smooth used to do the pounce thing, but he would go straight up and then in a fluid motion straight down paws first like an Olympic diver, no splash, full weight onto his prey under the snow. He could hear saws working a mile away through many walls. His ancestors were mini greyhound and white fox. His ears were huge and he was all muscles and speed. it was a joy just to look at him walk around, sleep, run, bark at ducks, bark at the clouds, whatever. The week he passed, the ducks walked up to me looking for him. I told them he was not coming back. They looked at each other and quietly walked back to the pond where they heard his territorial warnings everyday of their lives. I miss him so much. Videos like this help me with it. Thanks for your persistence. Foxes are special animals. Though owls and deer, moose and eagles are wonderful, too.

Yet another great video from your good self and one that clearly demonstrates the value of patience when photographing wildlife. Thank you.

I cannot believe just how tolerant of people your N. American wildlife is! To have a signposted den and be able to sit out in the open to photograph a vixen and Cubs is incredible. Here in Wales wildlife is very wary of any human activity and it takes a lot of time and patience to get anything decent. Last year a vixen was killed on a lane near my home and it turned out that she had a litter of 4 cubs in an earth nearby. Over a period of time I was able to supplement their food supply and in return gain the confidence of one of the cubs; enough for it to allow me some good opportunities to take some images. Normally however, I would need to be well concealed if I wanted to get any images. Great video.

Great stuff! I dig the hat! Thanks for sharing!

It was a great day. Thank you. Very nice Video. Greetings from Germany.

Beautiful pictures! Thank you. Take your Garmin Inreach to Africa!!!! Remember that the Southern African deserts are amongst the oldest and driest in the world, with the best dry flora and animals available.

Just wow! Amazing imgaes.

Super footage Steve, nice to see Isaac with you!

So fun Steve. Thanks for the heads up on the Garmin. Hadn't seen that one yet.

Nice vlog Steve. Those foxes were cute.

Great Photos and Video Steve. Nice healthy looking cubs.👍🏼

They're adorable! How fun. I'd call that worth the trip.

Another great video Steve. Shows what wildlife photography is really like and that you need to put in the time to get the shots. Sometimes its hours of waiting for one minute of craziness. So nice to get on a fox den.

Thanks for the inspiration Steve. I appreciate the video...

Epic as usual, fox and coyotes are two of my all time favorite subjects. I was lucky enough to have found a few dens this year. Thank for keeping us entertained.

Great vlog... I know you were relieved to find the den. Good pics too!

Love, love love the foxes and kits! One of my top three favorite animals!! I know they are canines, but they somehow, at least to me, also have some feline characteristics which may be what endears them so much to me. Those long, bushy, thick tails! Thanks for the super adorable video!

I love the videos and appreciate your dedication to wildlife photography. Nothing beats the Tetons!

nice video. the baby foxes are cute.

Super fun video with nice photos to boot! I have an older thermacell, love it.

Great video Steve and yes you did nail them. Thanks for sharing.

Very foxy video. Another very interesting shoot. Thanks, Steve.

hehe they are so qute =) Love fox puppys. Really nice vlog again Steve. Such an inspiration you have become to me =)

Another great video! Red fox, believe the gray is called a dark phase or something similar. Blessed to have a den about 200’ from my front door that looks a lot like this same setting (but no Grand Teton backdrop). Use is hit or miss but when the kits are there, it’s tons of fun to watch their play. No NPS to restrict access so getting close is only constrained by their and mamma’s tolerance. Always look forward to your next video.

Wonderful... carry on Sir

Nice.

Wonderfull footage and great info! Thanks for uploading...

Wonderful video/photography of fox family. What a pleasure to watch. 🙏👍👏🦊 P.S. Coleman jacket and pants protect me against mosquitoes and black flies this season. They are made of mesh (low cost), so it is a comfortable clothing for a hot weather.

Excellent as always Steve..

Really enjoyed this! Great info and great shots! Thank you very much!

Glad to see a new video. Thanks

I love the shot @ 15:39... Awesome!

Another great video Steve..! love Foxes..!

Foxes! You wild and crazy guy! Excellent!

Awesome stuff Steve!! I literally have spent my whole weekend watching your videos. Will heading out to Jackson on the 18th of July for a photo trip!!

Great shots....Didn't know about either of those products, thanks for the heads up on those.

Yes Foxes!! ..I have a weakness for foxes, there's a den only a 5 minute walk from my house. I see them out, not too often, they are really good a keeping hidden here. I was lucky in spring of 2009, I live on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland aka Ice Berg Alley, the sea ice was thick right along the shoreline bringing seals in. Unfortunately, a seal had died, not sure if it was hunted by an animal or crushed by the ice. My WOW moment came when I looked out and seen a Bald Eagle feasting on it with an Arctic Fox laying on the ice only a few feet away, waiting his turn. The sun was just starting to set and the sky was on fire, felt like I was watching a National Geographic show...the sad part, I never had my camera. I'll probably never witness anything like it again, but the image from that day is forever burned in my memory. Polar Bears are another visitor, this year we had four make an appearance in town..lol Thanks for these adventures Steve! They are fun to watch.

Great job Thanks.

Nicely done, enjoyed!

Great stuff Steve, I love those foxes!

Great stuff Steve

Nice🦊❤️

Nicely done Steve - love the tech stuff also - good stuff.

🙂when hiking there in June I was wondering why the area was closed. Now I know....

Great fun as always. That shadowy fox pic is truly haunting. If I can manage to find a 500mm that will work on my Olympus OMD then a Yellowstone workshop will jump on the to do list.

Great, danke!

Nice capture! Looked amazing other than the mosquitos

that's quite lovely : )

Beautiful footage steve. Poor Foxes could have used that mosquito repelling device. Loved the shots!

Question for you, Steve: How did you and Isaac learn about the fox activity? Is there some network of photographers, or rangers, or something that you check in whenever you are coming to the park?

Cuteness overload. I think you nailed a few of those! I assume the eye color changes when they become adults? The white tip to the tails reminds me of the flags we used to attach to our bikes when we were little to be seen by cars... is that indicative to young kits as well, or just these two? Liked It.

Perfect day and great photos! I'm going to order one of those Thermacell mosquito repellers, tired of the little vampires!!

Steve- cool video! The videos and images were fantastic. My favorite is the leaping fox. Thanks for the info on the thermacell and Garmin

Great vid as always, music killed this one ... what were you thinking? 🤣

Which fox species are these from? I know I've seen similar examples but cannot find a name. Gray fox? Cross fox?

another winning video Steve. you ever use auto iso for those difficult lighting areas? BTW what ball head do you usually use? thanks. danny

Hey Steve - love the vids. you may have come across my bro in Jackson - Gary Trauner? quick question... for teton and yellowstone, would you rather have a 400 2.8 or a 600 f/4? may come in September...

Hi great video as always. A question I wish to ask. How do you when capturing video footage do you then still manage to capture still images.

Good one Steve...always love to see one here in 🇨🇦....by the way Steve, where can I get one of those Bigfoot hat bud ?

Talk about how you use VR handheld with the 300mm and 500mm PF lenses. Do you leave VR on all the time? Turn it off at shutter speeds of 1/500 or at 1/1000 second?

Are you shooting with a Z7. How do you like it compared to the D850?

Great video Steve, gotta love fox cubs.Thanks for the tip; just hope that thermacell arrives before I head off into W.Scotland Atlantic oakwoods in what is predicted to be the worst midge season for years. [Gulps] Sorry couldn't use the affiliate link as it goes to Amazon U.S.

Great footage and photos. Which fox species are they?

Nice shots Steve. Seems that staying on the other side of the sign is OK - obviously the foxes didn't seem to mind since they were acting normally. Question - I saw that you were using a Flexshooter ballhead: how is that working out for wildlife and landscapes? Thanks.

Great hat! Great pictures! Did you use single point focus on these pictures?

Great video Steve as usual, I will join you in a workshop sooner or later, the only problem is Tetons is 10.000 Kms away from Italy 😉 How’s the z7 doing with the new firmware? I was considering getting a z6 to play with in addition to my d850.

great video steve! during this year i photographed a total of about 3 fox dens, i was wondering why one of the kits and the adult were darker colored?

Were all the stills taken with the Z7 ? great video as usual

Hey Steve! How is the Sigma 100-400 for You? Can You recommend it for landscapes and wildlife ? I'm shooting with Nikon 28-300 lens, and it is great for its versatility but I can see its limitations when it comes to sharpness and I'm wondering about replacing it with Sigma 24-105 and 100-400 lenses. What do You think ? Thanks for all the videos ✌ Greetings from the French Alps

Hi Steve, great video once again! Are you just testing out FlexShooter head or purchased one? How does it feel?

Great video! The thermacell I presume emits ultrasound. Like a dog whistle, I'm surprised it doesn't bother the foxes. For complex reasons, I have a Z7 on a 500mm f/4 and an A9 on a 100-400 f/5.6-6.3. I can't imagine any problems getting the A9 to focus, but do you have any suggestions on getting the Z7 to focus?

So Thermacell, seriously? So you go into nature and use poisson to kill bugs, 😭

Those little ones were gosha-a-darn cute. Might even say ........... FOXY ...... Yuck, Yuck.... But I think you should have left the skeeter machine for them, they need it.
