Thread: Feral Cats and fox pups

G'day again fellas, haven't been on here for a while, just dropped in for a quick look around and though some of you might like to see some pussy and a few young foxes that have started getting around.

As a professional rabbit shooter, I run into these buggers all the time, every chance that I get I will stick some lead into them as they are in direct competition to me. Things aren't going too well on the rabbit front for the last few months, bloody myxo and RHD have given my stock rabbits a real puzzling, number are lower now than I have ever seen, so have had to knock off shooting and take on other work until they breed up enough to get back into them. Still go out for a look around and knock off a few ferals, does the farmers a bit of a favour as well, cleaning up a few foxes to keep their lamb kill numbers down.

I am involved in taking blood samples from the cats for a woman at one of our universities, she is studying toxoplamosis in feral cats, and also doing a DNA map of them. So far this year I have got around 230 foxes and 37 cats, not too bad as I didn't shoot for around 3 months over winter.

Anyway, some photos for you lot, could be a bit gruesome, but that happens with shooting stuff, eh.









All these were taken with my 20/222 Zastava M85 action, ranges varied from around 50 meters for the twin fox pups, to 240 metres for the first cat. 32gn Z max projectiles make a very nice thump and quite a nice bit of paddock pizza.
