The Fox Coyote Mistake kzbin.infohrs-X38w6JE?feature=share

[@amysticwolf1261]

Lol rewound was like that's a fox XD check the comments and it's a fox

[@MattBrander]

Awesome follow up video. Love your content.

[@MattBrander]

That's a red fox!! Very cool. Great video.

[@judykinsman3258]

Thanks. Now I have to go back & rewatch to appreciate the red fox.🦊

[@FloraGaleFlower]

Yep! It's probably clearer in the video than it was IRL, tho. He probably saw it from far away and it's easy to mix up distant things.

[@A_Smith94]

Actually a yellow one you’re all wrong

[@Jessicasadd114]

I thought so

[@ninabriesch4184]

Yeah.. i was thinking the same.. But still cool to watch..

[@lisagauvin]

Morgan! I have a friend who lost a hand from clearing snow from a snow packed snow blower. It had a bunch of tension built up. It was locked and when he removed enough snow….😢. I am only posting “dreaded advice” because of risk of maiming. Going back to minding my own business now.

[@FusRoDarshinae]

Im so glad you mentioned this, i hope Morgan reads it, many people may not realise the potential for injury. Its not dreaded advice its caring about people.

[@private15]

Store the cattle water hose in the poultry shelter?

[@xPhyllx]

pro tip from a horse girl. with cutting the plastic of the haybale make X ontop of the bale and slice it al the way down. now you can peel the 4 plastic flaps down and grab the bale with your tractor. now your plastic is all in one piece

[@bikepower1378]

it is a fox

[@A_Smith94]

I don’t know bud thought that shit was a rhino

[@rebekkahnelson4192]

More like a yellow flamingo

[@LYNN-pf2kl]

It was a fox​@@rebekkahnelson4192

[@gkiferonhs]

Grandpop kept an area on the edge of his farm that was his "rabbitat" where he would pile brush, etc. to make it a good home for mice and rabbits to feel the coyotes. He felt they were territorial and a resident pack was a good way to keep other packs away. The locals knew where the food was easy and they didn't bother trying to get through the fencing.

[@nodigBKMiche]

Smart man, your Grandpop, and you are smarter, for learning from him🥰

[@highpsi11]

Very soothing when it's not my chores, my ice, my broken snow plow, my trapped dog or escaped, vandal calf : )

[@nodigBKMiche]

🤣🥰

[@filobetobaby]

Your coyote identifies as a fox. No judgment 😅

[@judykinsman3258]

Cute😂👏

[@johnsandell4501]

Winta ucks!

[@WestchesterWoodworking]

No, the fox identifies as a coyote! And Morgan knows👍 what a good man♥️

[@shariselove]

Confirmation post here😊

[@jimputnam2044]

Those darn pronouns.....

[@malcolmpayne9517]

Definitely not a coyote, that's a beautiful red fox displaying its beautiful, thick, winter coat. Their coats thicken up in the winter to help withstand the colder temperatures.

[@rebeccadepew827]

Please don’t put your hand in the snow packed snow blower. When I was in the hospital years age , I had a roomie who put her hand in it , with it off and when the tension was relieved, it moved and amputated her fingers. I do love your channel by the way

[@heathentown]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Good safety tip, though!

[@meiu7652]

Commenting to get this to the top. I never knew that. Horrifying😱

[@bhb12682]

Stoked the fox gets to continue improving the ecosystem while enjoying some popularity. Beautiful footage and the sunrise was a gorgeous capture also. Cheers

[@ImusNoxa]

That there coyote sure looks like a fox... Also, Morgan, I just want to say it's great watching someone else with adhd actively working through it. Life might be full of little failures, but the important thing is that you're succeeding at the bigger picture!

[@amandareynolds8930]

3:15 toddlers are toddlers in every species 😂😂😂😂

[@pamstearns4298]

Not a coyote, a red fox, and it was probably looking for a free meal from the chicken coop! Also, get yourself a slinky water hose. When done using it throw it in a 5 gal bucket and keep it in a warm spot. No need to worry about draining it!😁

[@jeannecastellano7181]

Good goose roasting weather! Merry Christmas/Chag Sameach!

[@blackaxeranch]

The snow is looking great! Beautiful!

[@grumpydruid8372]

Beetlejuice jumped on that hen and I swear I heard Michael Keaton yelling "It's SHOWtime!"

I love how calm you stay when dealing with misbehaving critters.

[@barbarabigelow9110]

Always happy to see Toby and Abby greet you! Their excitement is contagious. And Alfred's granite retaining wall looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your farm and accomplishments with us!

[@heidieho4470]

The kid voice cracked me up. Love you man. Peace

[@thenesthomestead]

Abby making her nest is so precious

[@craigk.235]

That was a fox! It is cute that Toby and Abby want to be with the cows. The animals are always so funny!

[@MichelleJacobcik]

I like how you see your farm as an ecosystem that includes a beautiful red fox.

[@AppletreeAdvertising]

Bonus likes for the color swatches and farm color scheme, you must paint.

[@LYNN-pf2kl]

It's a beautiful fox

[@marthamyers]

The paint chip got me. 😂

[@buzzard732]

I'm a pest controller in Scotland! Rule1:in Learn your Enemy! None native species!! Load of 🤎🦴💩!! Red fox are one of the most prolific and adaptive vulpids on this planet! Red Foxes don't respect county lines or need passports!! My Grandad taught me a valuable lesson, by saying "Close the birds up every night, because Foxy checks every night!! And they go mental if they do get in...Cache Kill! Worth the watching.. All the best Morgan!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@abigailclayton3505]

that was defiantly a red fox i seen plenty of them around being in the country side in the uk .

[@williamrhea3535]

Morgan, two things. That was a fox and secondly you mentioned the ashes in the compost. You are absolutely right, ashes equal potash which is the K in fertilizer. So throw all the ashes you want on the bird straw and compost it, it will be great compost.

[@songsayswhat]

I remember when I was 15 or 16 sitting on the porch with my grandparents and uncles & listening to them talking about they didn't see many more redtail hawks or black racer snakes. I thought, "Yep. Because you keep killing them every time you see one. Why are you surprised?" A few weeks later, they talked about how there were more mice around. Well, duh. This was back in the late 70s, so attitudes and knowledge has changed. But it's definitely an eco system. Also, that looked like a red fox to me.

[@mirandamaher9465]

YAY!!!! Glad to see you're part of the Y'all Squad now!!

[@MaddSlasher]

Morgan I fully believe in coexistence with coyotes, but that’s a fox. We can coexist with foxes too so the message is still relevant.

[@louisalintern-jones4626]

Aren't red foxes invasive in North America?

[@MaddSlasher]

@ yes and no. There is a native red fox species, but there is also the invasive European variety. I couldn’t tell you which is which though.

[@kathybrem880]

@@louisalintern-jones4626no, of course not

[@hrenes]

Draining the hose(s): an air compressor near the hydrant to blow the water out of the hose(s)

[@DistanceTraveled]

I love that you have the Y'All-O-Meter

[@jasonellstrom920]

Have a small air compressor and a camper air valve to blow out the water hose after use

[@RJ-go3sn]

Love your humor, Morgan (i.e. voice changing)! And also how great you are with your beautiful animals!! That morning sky was something!!

[@urkiddingme6254]

The peach and gray sunrise with the black and white trees in front could be a designer fabric - a French country toile, but much prettier.

[@montanateri6889]

All folks who get snow should have a YA'LL O' METER from Ryan Hall Y'all. Stick that meter in the ground or on a table... then take pics as the snow depth rises and send the pics to Ryan. Then Ryan will show pics of the snow measurements from various cities/states during his live Snow Shows and there ain't nothing more fun than to watch the YA'LL O' METER get buried in snow as a storm buries a town. The YA'LL O' METERs are linked on his videos to buy one. Or ten. TMI? You betcha. But Montana doesn't get much snow anymore, so I gotta get my fun where I can, see? 😁😝😍 I love it when one of my favorite channels puts a 'Howdy mention' for another of my favorite channels! Maybe Ryan will give us updates on Gold Shaw Farms' snow levels if Morgan sends him pics!

[@JessicaParsons]

I’m like oh wow that’s a fox!! 😅😅😅

[@lisaoconnor1854]

That neon cow hat is fabulous

[@InspiredJJ]

If you spray some wd40 on the snowblower it helps in wet snow ❄️

[@nodigBKMiche]

is WD40 biodegradable? I heard wax, cooking oil - but then Abby would be eating the snow....

[@tracydean3678]

WD-40 is actually fish oil.

[@InspiredJJ]

Not true.

[@RezaDaneshvar-c7x]

Every you're farm Morgan seems to have been definitely a balance that is really amazing, understanding and helping wildlife and keeping co-exist farming life with wildlife

[@rogerrabbit132]

Besides the fact that that's a fox, not a coyote, great video and I love seeing the cattle and dogs! Edit :: if Tobey figured out how to get into the cattle pen, he'll figure out a way out. He's not stupid.

[@gingermccoy2732]

That's a beautiful red fox 🦊

[@steveruby2120]

I think that coyote was a fox. Beautiful creature.

[@0megaming]

I always love to see your weather, because living in northern germany, I can expect exactly your weather with about 5-7°C more xD Also for driving the tractor with the plow: You need to drive much slower (like a crawling speed), so that the blower actually clears out enough. Love for all the animals and you as well as your wife ^-^ Also the ash provides some neutralizing and replentishing minerals to the ground, so it is kind of a good refreshener for the manure and straw.

[@stevenstrassberg3776]

I love your videos more than anyone else's.Its everything. The animals, the cinematography,the music and directing. Congratulations.

[@melaniemarino7219]

We used pool noodles cut into smaller pieces then duct taped them all the way down and it kept the hose from freezing! Also the indoor out door fake grass carpet works great to clear the snow for some ground ! I donut for the dogs just lift it snow goes and the ground is clean for them !

[@WolfSparkle15]

Sir that is a fox but I 100% agree with you about co existing 🥰

[@gracedawn]

The paint color pics were hilarious!

[@pnhnut]

Hey Morgan, I have a set up for water much like yours. Things I do to make my life easier is 1} quick connects. 2} have a high bar to rest the hose on near the trough (I use a 2x4x8 attached to the fence with a pvc guide screwed on to it for the hose to slide on). 3} a rubber hose that you can pull easily up and over the bar to drain the water and then I take the end back up the hill with me to the faucet and just leave it on the ground so if there is any water left it will be flat ice and easily forced out when hooked back up the next day. I NEVER coil a hose in winter. Good luck - I love your ingenuity :)

[@nodigBKMiche]

Maybe do a short video and post it, pls :)

[@MC-qb1jg]

I absolutely agree with you, Morgan. We must coexist with wildlife. Your farm is beautiful year round. OH MY GOODNESS, YOU HAVE A YA'LL O' METER from Ryan Hall Ya'll 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@montanateri6889]

Don't ya love it when two channels you love find each other! 😛🥰😁🙃

[@MC-qb1jg]

@montanateri6889 Yes 😊

[@nkapiariesjeffbeezos796]

You could have a air hose line next to your water line and you could blow it out once your done with watering with a quick connect

[@steveshoemaker6347]

[@snoflwer]

Bahaha The paint colors! Love it!

[@imurrx]

Bird poop and pee is quite acidic and wood ash is alkaline. So you are neutralizing the acidity, which may be good for certain type of compost (ie where the compost will be used and the acidity will be needed for prospective plants). You can estimate how much poop your birds deposit, figure out the total of acid added to the straw. Then you can then figure out how much ash you need to throw down to get to a specific ph. Then again, just wing it and fix it when it is done mulching.

[@nicholaslablanc7895]

Hello from Wisconsin. Here is a nice tip to keep snow from clogging in a snowblower: wax. You can use automotive wax the blades, inside the front, and the shoot for the snow. It really helps, especially with the wet and heavy snow.

[@dhawthorne1634]

Ashes contain a lot of Potassium Carbonate (Pot-ash) which acts will make compost and soil more Alkaline. This is great for peppers, potatoes and certain herbs, but most Nightshades and Brassicas (90% of the culinary vegetables humans eat) prefer acidic soils. Coffee grounds can also work to neutralize odors and act as an acidifier. Ashes are a good way to turn reactive hydrangeas pink (use coffee grounds for blue).

[@Valcour]

That was a long winded plug about the "coyote". But it's a fox... They can be very friendly, especially in winter.

[@greybeard1233]

I had one living in a brush pile behind the house. When we would get a foot of snow, I would make up a couple of fried egg sandwiches and leave them next to his den.

[@jillianstolling2602]

Lol the way that fox turned and looked at Morgan when he said it was a coyote, lol. Thanks for the laugh.

You could wrap up the hose and put it into the high tunnel where it will stay a little warmer. Watching your videos always brightens my day.

Love winter on your farm !! Just as much fun as summer!! Oh and what an awesome gift from Ryan hall!!

I really feel for the reluctant birds, stuck Toby Dog and even the *Coyotefox (*a rare northeastern U.S. mammal usually only seen in a very small area of Peacham, Vermont) appear to have the same trouble that I have EVERY year with the first snow...OMG it's everywhere.

[@lisaw510]

It seems my comment with the link for a livestock watering post was deleted. NO, I'm not trying to sell you anything, but every time I see you rigging up hoses all over your property reminds me of this AWESOME livestock watering option used in upper Canada where it's snowing 9-10 months of the year. The piping is all underground, & a post is put in wherever needed with a lever that animals can press to bring water up into the top of the "bowl." Then the water drops back below freezing level before it can freeze. Absolutely INGENIOUS invention that is worth your time & money, ESPECIALLY considering you have a buddy named ALFRED who has an excavator!

[@lisaw510]

Forgot to mention, you could start the underground piping right from your spring! How awesome would THAT be?! 😁

[@juddhodgson]

On the watering system consider putting "Wye" with valves on both sides. Put the hose on the wye, open that valve leave it that way. Close the valve on the other side. To drain just open the valve.

[@gerrimilner9448]

a hose spool attached to the shed would work, if you can wind it round it with a handle, it will empty, while winding

[@davidnuckols8151]

You need to employ an air compressor. At your water input put a Y Valve. When your done watering, blow some air through the hose. Be careful and don't use too much air pressure.

[@barborasvobodova4434]

If you have spare firewood ash you can use it for chickens to dust bath. Just put it in some wide enough container and thay will enjoy it.
