A fox ran through my campsite in Grand Teton, probably less that 5 feet from me (I was very careful about food – in any case he didn’t stop). I’ve seen them before but don’t recall the circumstances.
See sheep more often, but less often than llamas (farm near me), goats and of course cows. (Probably see deer more often than sheep)

I worked with a girl who said she’d never seen a sheep closer than a white blob on a hill; the weird thing was, she grew up in Wales.
We had a fox den in the back garden at my old house, the cubs would sit out and watch me gardening. There’s loads of urban foxes round here, I see far more now in Bristol than when I was living in the Northern English countryside. Fewer sheep though.
The increase in city rabbits probably has corresponding increase foxes. I live in Southern Espoo, at the coast, and you can see them quite often in the evening. Sometimes with something small and furry in their jaws.
I was out in the desert by Gila Bend with an astronomy club. It was as dark a night as you can have out here.
We heard the sound of (what we thought were) kit foxes running around, but couldn’t see a thing. I put on my friend’s night vision goggles, and was surprised to see two fozes standing right beside me! Not two feet away. Their eyes glowing green orbs in the NVG. Bold little guys!
I’ve also seen a coyote at my street corner in Mesa. They live in the golf courses out here (as well as out of town in the desert) but to see one on the street was unusual.
What RobDog said.
Wow! My experience is they’re quite shy. My closest encounter happened when I was exploring the over-grown part of an abandoned car-park. Pushed my way through some bushes and on the side there was a large mat of quite thick moss with a huge fox lying on it. We met each others eyes, there was a pregnant pause, then he* leapt up and disappeared into the trees on the other side.
*I’m guessing it was male because of the size, comfortable looking spot as well actually!
Thankfully rabies isn’t a thing in the UK.
That’s rather awesome, you should upload the footage on youtube.
Live in CA, moving back to OR shortly.
Yes, have seen both on many an occasion.
Once on break from university, I was driving with some girlfriends down to my folks’ house. We passed a wide variety of farmlands. My one friend yelled out, loudly, “sheepies,” at one point. My recollection is that she had either never or rarely, seen them before. The rest of us amused ourselves, as friends must, by yelling “sheepies”, “horsies”, “mooies”, etc, for the next several hundred miles. I still do it occasionally, but no one gets the joke. 
I didn’t know that. Looking this up on the wiki I see that it’s been virtually eradicated for a while, but perhaps still survives in bats in Scotland? Rabies in dogs has been virtually eradicated here but the abundance of rabid bats, raccoons, skunks, and other wildlife keep it present and always a danger.
I grew up in southern California near LA, where the towns have all run together. If you fly into LAX and look down, any green patches you see will be a golf courses or cemeteries.
That said, we were just far enough from LA that there were a few individual acres still zoned agricultural. My folks bought one and my sisters raised sheep in 4-H. We also had chickens and had to protect them from possums.
I didn’t see a fox until I went to UC Davis (northern California), which has big ag fields around it.
So, what DOES the fox say?
Fox–out here at Nashville International.
One trotted along, bold as you please, within 20 feet of me, & never gave me a second look. Ran right through the Air Guard gates, likely on his way to the garbage in back of the Mess.
Sheep–in Wisconsin, in the 70s. Some of a nearby farms got loose, & Dad spent the day catching & penning them.
There’s a farm with sheep a few miles away & fox are not that uncommon around here; probably 3 sightings a month in the warmer weather. There was a den with six pups nearby.
I see sheep, foxes and other animals whenever I go hiking. That includes brown bears, which can be quite a scary experience. I’m from Romania.
Very well… quality isn’t great as it’s at night so using infra-red, and it keeps setting the security light off too, but since you asked 
Here it is making an unholy mess and making off with the first one. I won’t upload the rest as watching that happen five more times over half an hour is about as interesting as it sounds!
I’ve only ever seen two foxes—once in Wales and once in San Diego (Point Loma—one of the little grey foxes). I saw the San Diego one quite regularly, though: she had a den near my bicycle commute route.
Sheep by the gazillions, mostly in Wales.
I’ve seen sheep at an orchard near my parents’ house. The sheep all have names like Sweater, Mitten, Scarf, etc. (There was a chart with photos.)
I’ve seen foxes a few times in my neighborhood, but not for years.
Our next door neighbours on both sides have sheep. I don’t usually see foxes - usually the first I know of it is our dog chasing one off - but one time I got lucky and found one one morning and took a few photos.
In our backyard, we have seen fox, deer, bear, and moose. Never seen a sheep in our backyard, although there are some in the neighborhood.
I envy you the bears – we got rid of ours in the UK, about 500 AD.
I grew up in an area of West Los Angeles near “Fox Hills.” Now, it’s just a shopping mall, but there are two large cemeteries adjacent (Holy Cross and Hillside), so they could still be there. And, of course, there were the deaf rabbits at LAX. But I never saw either.
I’m even closer to LAX now, but what I see regularly are raccoons, possums, freakin’ grey squirrels and, lately, coyotes (one tried to snatch one of our dachshunds a couple of months ago – yikes).
I saw a bighorn sheep on a camping trip once (!). That was huge. But I don’t see sheep hardly even, unless I’m driving waaaaay outta town. Don’t see foxes.
My older sister’s in Ventura County (north of LA County), and they have bobcats and mountain lions. Once a giGANtic rattlesnake slithered into their garage. Animal Control got it.
Oh, and I saw a Mojave Green in Death Valley on a camping trip years ago. We gave it a very wide berth.
Driving from LA to Eureka and back over the years, the most ubiquitous critter is the Turkey Vulture. They were like my creepy guardian angels.
ETA: Over the last month or so I’ve seen a hawk on our street and in our comples (checking out the squirrels and pigeons, and being chased by crows). I think it’s a Sharp-Shinned Hawk, because it looks like a Cooper’s Hawk, but is relatively small.
I was just discussing with someone the other day about the lack of urban foxes here in Sweden.
Being from the UK I am very used to both sheep and foxes.
For a long time the UK was as strict as the likes of Australia when it came to animal movements (being mostly an island and the one border being to the rest of an island made it easy) but with the likes of pet passports it has eased of late. There was always a paranoia about rabies, which was well seen in the early 1980s TV show ‘The Mad Death’ which depicted a rabies outbreak after (IIRC) a woman smuggles a dog through customs.
