The Game Preserve is a location in Disney's 1981 animated feature film The Fox and the Hound. It is a section of the forest where Tod was dropped off at by his owner Widow Tweed in order to protect him from her hunter neighbor Amos Slade, since hunting is forbidden there. Despite that, Slade and his dog (and Tod's former friend) Copper invade the place to hunt Tod anyway.
Background[]
The Game Preserve appears to be protected by law to prohibit hunting as there is a wired fence around the preserve with a sign that issues against hunting with a small, indiscernible stationary on it that seemingly makes it official. The animal community that resides in the preserve seems to only consist of Vixey, a beautiful vixen, Mr. Digger, a grouchy reclusive badger and a shy Porcupine. Other animals like small quails are also seen. The one animal that seems to be the most feral out of every creature in the preserve is a giant black bear who lives in a cave that is near a waterfall that also inhabits the preserve. It would appear that the owl Big Mama often visits the preserve as Vixey is familiar with her.
The preserve is near the homes of Widow Tweed and her neighbor Amos Slade as Tweed drives a short mile to drop Tod off the preserve. The ending of the film also confirms this as Tod and Vixey are seen overlooking the former's previous home.
