I know of at least three small groups that drive foxes multiple weekends through the year.... Mostly using dogs as well as guns. Call it "flush" shooting if you like, as they do patches of cumbunge reeds and pin-rush as well as linear features like ridges and creek lines.

Late April sees a regular weekend of drives on the rice stubbles a couple of hours west of here. The rice tends to hold high numbers of mice post- harvest, so the foxes are given a month or so after harvest to move back in, then the paddocks are driven in a manner very similar to that described by John. Ditto a number of lignum and cane-grass swamps.

Dogs are usually part and parcel of the drive. Terriers to worth the heavy cover and some leggy runners to cover the wings of the drive.

My thanks to John for a nice recounting of a good day.
