So my house is right on the edge of a reservation, and there's a fox that occasionally wanders by. I'm wondering if anyone knows a safe way that I could encourage it to come by more often. I'd love to see it more frequently. As it is, I've only seen it about eight or nine times in the past four years. A few weeks ago, I found him sitting by the back door (which is a big glass door), just staring in with his nose less than an inch from the glass.
I want to encourage him to come by more often, but I don't want to do anything that would make him dependent on me.
The pic is a shot I took of him back in 2012, when I first saw him.

Don't you dare try and take an animal from the wild

No, of course not. What I meant was, what can I do to make him come near my house more often? I don't want to take him in, I just want to see him outside more often.

conditioning his behavior to make him more tolerant of people/people's living area is a bad idea. While you may be chill, if you do things to make it more tolerant of people, then you never know what will happen to it from other people. Its not uncommon for people to kill foxes they see if their neighborhood out of fear for their pets or livestock. Inviting wildlife into human areas is only asking for trouble for the fox. Just be happy with the times you do get to see it and leave it at that.

Me? No I was just getting a kick out of the person who misunderstood the op and sperg'ed out hard over it.

I wasn't thinking of it but now I might.

Get a chicken coop he'll be around so much that you'll see him in your dreams.
