Nice fox. What kind of market do you have in Australia? In other words, what do you expect this fox will bring when it’s time to sell?

Very nice shot and fox. What other animals can you trap down there?

Is the fur valuable? Is there a market for it?


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Our fox prime up late Nov early Dec.
I assume yours in the southern hemisphere would be prime late May early June?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

its a bit hit and miss here....sometimes there is a demand but most times there isn't.....when they are buying if it a big skin you can get $20.00 for a skin but most average 10 bucks a skin...about 15 years ago when I was pro kangaroo shooting for a living I sold fox skins as an extra income...I sold 18 skins, got 20 bucks for one skin and the rest was 12.50 a skin

we can trap feral cats(house cats that have gone wild) foxes, rabbits and wild dogs ….. I mainly concentrate on the cats and foxes as there is no wild dogs in the area I live ...and rabbits come and go because of the virus

yes you would assume correctly...and june/july is their mating time and the skins are prime but fall of around august when they become rubbed

I had a guy years ago when I was on Ebay that tried to get me to ship him traps unassembled to AU and mark them machine parts why would he ask that of me?

not sure why he would do that Law Dog.....trapping is legal here in Australia...different states have different rules on what traps can be used but it is still legal here to trap.....just can do it on public land

Nice catch.


You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?
