Thread: Out foxing a problem

Some good pics there Ackley I was actually harvesting wheat between Mungindi and collarenebri last year saw a few foxes around the wheat paddocks had a real good photo opportunity that I missed of a fox cub gnawing away at an old roo carcass but I spooked it while getting out of the tractor with the camera lovely looking animals but a real pest for farmers and livestock one thing I could not get over how close the emus will get to you when they want to to check you out. Most interesting expereince I had which I also missed a photo opportunity on was seeing a pair of brown snakes mating only because the farm owners son gave it the 12g treatment but sure was funny watching them bite each other when the shot pellets hit never did get any chance to get photos of some of the snakes I saw there which was a shame.

Hunter 308 if you come over harvesting again this year give me a call when you get near the end and we might be able to go and find a sambar for you.
Snakes are not the big deal most people make them out to be. Only time I've seen them be aggressive is after I've done some thing to give them a reason to be.
Puku at this time of year most foxes won't come to a whistle. An old cunning fox will run away at 100 miles an hour if it hears a whistle. I have neighbours who use a whistle all the time so the foxes around here are well trained.
You would be surprised but even with a spot light you quite often need to use a bit of hunting nouse to out smart them.

Cheers Ackley
