so what do you do when you actually hunt fox's and feral's?

is there any benefits such as meat, fur or what ever? or is the only benefit that there is just one less of them :lol: :lol:

Depends, Joker. Most feral species are edible if prep'ed right and you know what to look for (to avoid). Everything has fur that can be used if you have a use for &/or inclination to process it.

There is also just the benefit of the fact there is one less rampaging feral destroying native wildlife and habitat.

You actually eat any of them Gwion?

Reason why I mentioned it is because I've talked to some older generation people who used to live in the villages and mentioned they used to to get the fox for its fur and sell it.

So just curious to what people do with their pest/feral kills

Oh and when you kill it and don't do nothing with it is there a way of disposing it or I you just leave it where it lays to decompose ?

Not many ferals where i live. Quite a few cats but they aren't on the menu. Most of my pest shooting is one species of wallaby that is extremely prolific locally. We cull them to keep the population in check. I occasionally eat them but not often.

Some of the wallaby go to dog food and the rest are sent to a near by wildlife park to feed the devils.
