Red fox in Albemarle, Culpepper, Louisa, Madison and Orange counties.
Because of concerns about low red fox populations in Albemarle, Culpepper, Louisa, Madison and Orange and the impacts on mounted fox hunting activities, suggestions have been made to:
a. ban live trapping and shooting of foxes in these areas
b. restrict live trapping of foxes to area within 20 miles of a fox hound training enclosure
c. limit or ban live trapping of foxes in areas where mounted fox hunts occur
d. establish daily and season bag limit for live trapping foxes
e. limit the number of foxes that training enclosures can obtain
