It depends entirely what I was carrying if I had my 6SLR loaded with 105 Amax projectiles and was out for foxes I’d leave me pig alone because I wouldn’t be comfortable shooting a pig with the amax. If I was out shooting pigs and the fox popped up I’d still shoot the pig.

As a fox shooter....it would always be the fox first or me....BUT....given that i hunt with thermal....fair chance both might have bitten the dust....

At that particular paddock the foxes hang around the cattle yards all night every night .....so not getting those 4 foxes that night was fine by me .... I have since been back at least half dozen times and cleaned up all the foxes ...... now at the cattle yards unfortunately there is no more foxes for me to shoot. I have nobody to blame but myself. But a few kilometres away in my pig paddocks at the beginning of a week long hunt the foxes are usually hidden in the thick scrub. Then after dropping half dozen pigs randomly in the open cultivation paddocks I start to notice foxes either on my dead pigs or travelling towards them .... so it’s just a matter of getting within range
