Another dead scrubber this one I got while he was pushing through the boundary fence from next door a single 7.62x39 to the head! Just for scale that is a full size shovel blade next to his head he was a monster! Attachments:

Frostbite's "Fox Problem" They are getting cheeky. Coming to within 20m of us near the cabin. Just too busy to shoot them. |

? Um ... looks like a back lawn with a moggie in the background? Are you messing with us or what? We have the neighbour's moggies come through too but these buggers are like twice the size of your average domestic cat it's why I took the pic it's from a few years ago. The cat is about twenty meters further down the same slope from where the scrubber is down on the ground. I took the photo from the deck of the place in the background. It was max zoom on the phone camera which I was talking to work on at the time when I did see this thing prowling through. Just to make sure.... If, when we take a picture like that.. As soon as possible we take another picture from the exact location with a 15 cm wide, by 1 meter long yellow board standing in the place.. This gives a drop dead positive reference to the animal size.. I lived in a place once where there was supposedly "none there" but had a game camera picture of a cougar. Mountain lion, puma are other regional names for basically the same animal in North America.. Admittedly large cats tend to look much darker than they really are, unless in very good sunlight photo conditions. With the picture of the animal and picture of the meter stick side by side there was NO denying what was what, and put an immediate end to the ... you don't know what your talking about cracks.. Crykey... Those "scrubbies" must be quite a menace.. Are they good eating ?? Or just for hamburger ?? |

These feral bulls come across as very rank when butchered and are really only good for dog meat. This particular mob of ferals have a Limousin bloodline which makes them particularly aggressive in their feral state! |

OK folks so here is the good shiit! The dogs! My place shares a property boundary with NSW State Forest and because of this we like everyone else in our valley are plagued by Feral Dogs! These wild farkers continue to hybridise on and on and are a very unrecognised threat of huge proportions! These things are full on wolves now but your average anti-gun metro in Parliament still don't get it! This one was nailed by a Ranger behind my place. Sorry but one of my kids thought at the time it would be funny to draw a little bunny down the bottom of the photo! Takes awhile to dig this stuff out but as you can see the FERAL PROBLEM for rural / regional people is very real which is the whole point of my contributions to this topic! Attachments:

Which kid drew that? The youngest?
I got another letter today saying NP are putting another helicopter gunship near my place, culling pigs, goats and deer. Mongrels. Them ferals are for me to resupply on fresh meat.

These feral bulls come across as very rank when butchered and are really only good for dog meat. ++++++++ Too bad about that.. Frankly, unfortunately, a lot of wild, feral pest animals are that way. Neighbor had to take care of business with a bear that was living on frogs from the swamps near his place.. Even with a license when butchered the animal was not good for more than dog food.. But his dogs are quite less domesticated than our dog.. +++++++++ This is a tool I have used in protecting our livestock.... I mounted it to a 2x4" lumber base wider than the trap so no animal, inside or out, can tip it over.. This also makes it easier to pick up with the pallet forks on the tractor loader, or to skid behind the tractor.. It and a box of 22 short ammo makes it good for selective removal of predators. www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/animal/TLT210C.html |

I may have met my match.....
No trail cam pictures for conformation ....yet... but, I believe a fox has got 7 of our 9 geese.. Tunneling under fence gate, climbing up and over 8' chain link fence, tracks, evidence on carcass and such says this.. Same evidence as last fall when we lost a goose..
Am going to have to up my game for this one.. However, if nothing else, I am persistent..

Do you 'spotlight' foxes over there ,Tim?
Drive around at night with a spotlight and shine it around. The fox's eyes glow when the light hits them making them easy to see and shoot.

Harder to eliminate than even rabbits. Shoot one, the rest clear out for a while but still come back later. Smart too and will often ignore baits. |

Never seen a feral dog at my place. Pity, they would make more interesting reactive targets at 1000 yards than steel plates.
