THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

There can be little doubt that the true hill-fox is quite different from the low country fox; the hill foxes do visit the low country in the breeding season; of that there is no doubt, as we occasionally find them with hounds, and have wonderful runs to some earth on the moors, of which no low country fox could know.  The hill foxes have their earths on the moors, whilst they use old jet workings very frequently.  I should say that the big moorland fox is now very scarce, though crosses are frequently met with. You will very rarely find a lowland fox take to the moors but once a moorland (hill) fox, always a hill fox.
