okay so there was a fox laying down to the right of the large rocks behind the green at the top of the image





well i pulled my tee shot a little, and sure enough, i hit the fox


thought i killed it at first, it rolled down a the hill a few times, but got up and ran off. so i guess its ok


anyways after the ball hit the fox, it flew into the desert area and into an unplayable lie.


So whats the official rule here?

i took a penalty for an unplayable lie and finished the hole. but could i have just dropped where it hit the fox with no penalty?

You play the ball as it lies. The ball in motion was deflected by an outside agency. Rule 19-1:

19-1. By Outside Agency If a player's ball in motion is accidentally deflected or stopped by any outside agency, it is a rub of the green, there is no penalty and the ball must be played as it lies

As long as the Fox did not pick up your ball and run away with it, you won't get any relief.
