When you imagine fox hunting, you probably imagine a British countryside amass with barking hounds and a posh guy on horseback. And while that is the more televised personification of fox hunting, there are other options available. If you’re looking to try something new, we have four iSportsman locations perfect for fox hunting this season.  

Fort Eisenhower, Georgia Fox Hunting

Fort Eisenhower, Georgia is home to two species of fox: the red fox, and the grey fox. While the two are slightly different in appearance, they are very similar in behavior. Like deer, these foxes are crepuscular. Unlike deer, foxes have an easier time adapting to a wide range of habitats. While both species of fox aid the local ecosystem by controlling small mammal populations, an over-population of either can be troublesome.  

Fortt Eisenhower offers over 50,000 acres of land available for hunting game, and fox season runs from December 1ST to February 29th. Visit the Fort Eisenhower iSportsman portal for more information.
