Australian shooters using a spotlight at night used to be able to make considerable incomes from fox pelts. I knew one guy who lived in Tasmania and travelled to sheep stations in Western Australia to live for six months of each year to hunt, shoot and trap foxes. He made his yearly income that way.

Then in the 1980's the anti-fur morons destroyed the fur wear consumer market and fox skins became uneconomical. A good fox pelt in the good days could earn from $30 to more than $50 each pelt. That dropped to probably a maximum of $15 each pelt after consumer demand crashed.

As a result fox numbers exploded and native wildlife suffered. The greenies and antis again showed their ignorance and their policies destroyed native wildlife species.
