Nice one Tea Lady
Glad the mystery is solved Rob, but as is usual, one mystery is solved and another one presents itself.
Why on earth would a fox be so unconcerned about you? I hesitate to totally believe the 'juvenile fox' explanation. If that were the case, wouldn't we be surrounded by lots of other 'juveniles' when in the bush?
It does, however, make me wonder if it were once a pet?? Or maybe it's as Tea Lady suggested, that it is used to your presence.
Hmmm......
cheers

Perhaps it hasn't been shot at yet so it has no need to fear humans
John, as has been mentioned, they are imported vermin who attack our wildlife. Our flora and fauna evolved without consideration of creatures like cats, rabbits and foxes.
They have no or very little predators and they have abilities to kill our wildlife where our creatures have no defence.
Perhaps if we lived in the UK we could make it a pet but here it is not possible. I think you could be fined for encouraging foxes here.
And then there is Tea Lady suggesting a foxy female might be in love with me - I am a happily married bloke.- Wood Borer

Heavenly to a fox!!
Just wanted to alert you to her (his?) true intentions. You don't have to accept every foxy advance you know. Or is that against some sort of male lore?anne-maria.

BT,
I think it was who came up with a suggestion of how make new boots fit a bit better - urinate in them
I want it put on record that these boots fitted nicely from day one and I had no need nor desire to take such drastic action with these boots.
I also would like it put on record that the saying us blokes use "splash the boots" is only a saying when it concerns me.
But yes the boots can get a bit on the nose after sweating in them all day so perhaps that is why the fox finds them so attractive.- Wood Borer

Oh dear!! Sorry if I caused offense. I'm sure the fox only loves you for your mind.
Any way, so what you gonna do? Put the boots in a cupboard? Call the zoo?anne-maria.

Rob,
Are there any gnomes in your garden? I wouldn't think it could've been the Stuff-up Fairies as I'm sure it's been a long time since you last saw them.

No offence taken, the key word was "physical" .
We'll leave our boots inside just before we go to bed. I think my little fox is likely to meet his maker at the hands of a farmer or hunter. There are wild dog problems in the area with people who have stock.
Chris,
The only gnome in our garden is me!!- Wood Borer

Maybe the fox was not bothered by your presence because it was already familiar with your scent (foot odour?)?

Ditto...
I agree...you have a cat burgler...cats love hopping in boots...haven't you heard of "Pussy in Boots" they literally try to hop in them....there is definitely an odour those kitty cats like about our feet...
set a mouse trap in one...or spray with a little vinigar..keep us posted...Catching....story...

Recently a friend here in the valley had a BBQ and a fox appeared; it came to within 10 feet of the bloke doing the 'cooking' and sat down, apparently waiting for a handout!
The one I ran over in the cruiser the other night looked pretty scared.. but only for a second. After that it just looked...squashed."Look out! Mum's in the shed and she's got a hammer!"
