Thread: A cheer me up pic

some of the fox we shot in Aus would have been around 15 kg, the one in the pic would be 10 kg easy

in South Aus we used to spot light them and used whistles which sounds like wounded rabbits...did you use the whistles, Pointer. I still have mine somewhere in all the miscellany. Very deceptive weight.

I used to use a rabbit squealer to bring them in and a squeaker to stop them for the shot. Good fun.

Yeah whistled them in at night with a light, or 'bait and wait' with a dead roo or sheep. Once you've shot a few you get over it, the smell of carnivore shot in drought season is something else. No doubt you remember that!

Yes!!!! phew and whew!!! What I was surprized at was the urban population (of foxes!!) in the suburbs of Sydney...

Don't no if I could shoot one , too cute and puppy looking

Yes, until they kill all your chooks and the odd lamb or two or three...

Not when its chewing the head off the corpse of the family cat... Will find the photo. If they were here in NZ you could kiss gooodbye most of our gamebirds and most of our natives. Nothing cute about foxes

*edit* yep, EBs beat me to it

*edit edit* oh! and the ticks!

Try shooting coyotes some time

Yes too true , didn't engage brain before posting . I'm pretty sure they ( fox) kill for the sake of killing , not just for food . (

I wouldn't say that but they can sure put away some grub

RCGSP, I had the opportunity to meet with the manager of a community pasture in Manitoba and he was telling me how the coyotes will lure dogs away from their owners homes and kill them... It was pretty neat though hearing them communicate for miles around...

dingos any one?

Took this one at a truck stop

Dingo stole my baby!

That's one of those things I've always heard about but never talked to anyone that has seen it happen. Still I wouldn't put it past them. Clever bastards.
