    Hey NVM,

    Great photo (and quick thinking to get the photo). A good example of the food chain at work.

    A friend and I came over a hill to find two young red foxes playing last summer at Petrifying Springs GC between Kenosha and Racine. They stopped as we drove by (only about 10 yards away) and then they went back to playing after we passed. It was pretty cool.

    To get even more off topic, I have an older friend who used to be a "carny" and would wrestle animals on the county fair circuts. He said that bears were usually easy to beat but the biggest ass whooping he ever took in his life was from a kangaroo.
