By the way, as I have no photos, I will have to see if I can do a walk, a fifth this long and kill one locally, just for the photo. My old favourite place of fox slaughter is now gone though. In the fallen but still alive pine trees behind an old somewhat derelict farm house was a place where there always was a high probability to see or get a fox even in daylight. But for years now the house is again inhabited. The ponds there were also GREAT wild duck shooting spots. Also sadly gone due to the re-encroachment of civilisation ... Most foxes in Australia are shot at night with spotlights. Countless thousands were shot for the fox fur market before the greenies and antis killed off the fur wearing fashions. Fox drives like this are not rare but also not common. There are a few such groups to my vague knowledge, but this is the only one I know people from. I always enjoy the sporting hunting of foxes in daylight. They are a great game animal and well worth hunting. I really need to get a full mount of one taxidermied to enjoy. And I loved the little head/shoulder mounts that were displayed ad naseum in such castles as Konopiste of Crown Prince Ferdinand in the Czech Republic. They were rather cool. Not to mention the huge fox fur circular floor rugs. |
