That is hard to believe?
My long time partner went on a trip with Rick Orelli, who died last year but was possibly the most successful contest hunter ever, for sure in California maybe the entire country? Anyway, I believed them, they would have no reason to lie to me.
They killed a gray fox up around Farmington, New Mexico several years ago and said it weighed 26 pounds. Unheard of! I have seen 12 pounders, and that's a big fox, but most will go 7, 8, possibly 10 pounds, but I have seen a couple over the years that went twelve pounds. Twenty-six pounds is unbelievable, except I have known both of these guys since high school and Pat, since he was 18 years old, so I have to believe them.
Thirty-two on a red fox makes me think it must be some sort of hi-bred?
Good hunting. LB

DNA and genetic cross refferencing, will most likely show it to be a rare "wolfox", said to be as rare as black mountain lions here in the USA.

Most likely a Photo shopped fox.
