I need some help locating references of red fox chaseing prey. I'm going to mount a red fox chasing a cottontail thru a corn field for my state's competiton this Summer. I did find one pic on the net of a red running in snow but half the body is buried. I've also spent time at the library looking thru a number of books but have not found anything useful. I'm going to do a carcass cast, once I determine the position, to make the form so I have the mold for future use. Last year I did a carcass cast for a gray fox in a tree but the leg molds didn't survive and I ran out of time prior to the show to make another set. I snared a 14 pound male red in December and am prepping the skin for tanning this week, preserved 20 corn stalks and roots and am working on getting a cottontail. I have until July but would like to make sure I can get everything. Stouffer Productions has one program where a red chases a rabbit in the snow. I checked their website but they have nothing available.
Any help would be appreciated.

Glenn, Go to www.webshots.com click on gallery, animals, foxes. there is 1 photo there of a fox chasing prey... You might have to sign up to download it..Good program to have anyway. Some great pics for computer walllpaper....Jim
Jim, thanks. I found the fox/mouse pic. Also found another on there of a red leaping across a creek. Trying to get as many references of fox running, leaping, etc., to come up with a composite that I can work from.
