The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources responded to a report of several dead foxes found on the side of Morse Point Road in Peary. The Gazette-Journal reports a resident was leaving for work when she saw the foxes on the ditch bank beside the road. She asked a friend who’s a state trooper to check into it. That friend reported the incident to DWR. A conservation officer said that the foxes all appeared to have been shot with a rifle.
