trapping in Australia

An aussie fox.... Bridger 1.65 softjaws, dirthole set, caught on fox urine and cats me dead lure

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?

That is one nice fox and nice color thank you for posting .

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

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

Nice red you got there!!!!

Great catch

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

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

thanks for sharing

All right, I’ll ask. What’s the word on the Thylacene? What do you think?

don't really know mate...maybe... there is some very remote areas in Tasmania ..so you just never know

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

got this one last winter

Thanks for sharing from down under Ozzy!

Mark

no worries Mark...hope to post some more up

Beautiful coloration on your fox .

Very cool, thanks for posting!

Nice catch.

Nice photos too. You must know what you are doing with a camera. I just take snap shots, not photographs like you do.......jk Ps I was there in the '70s for a few months and worked in TPNG (New Guinea) for 6 months too. Totally different environment than here in Pennsylvania.

Nice Red .Great Catch !

I want a Tasmanian Devil coat, full length. I am tired of people picking on me. I believe that would take care of that.

I'd heard down there is where all the Sterling traps had gone?!
