Vic fox/dog bounty....

Post by brinny » 03 Aug 2020, 9:32 pm

Anyone get turned away at the bounty collection points this week.....
Got a bloke posted on my FB group says he drove just on an hour to Bendigo today,only to be told at the gate that it was cancelled.....He wasnt a happy camper...
Another bloke was saying that he was told by the DPI, that any that has been handed in previously, wont be paid for now and just go to establish vermin numbers...
Can anyone shed some light on this also???
A day without a hunt, is a day lost.....

Was a post on FB that they have suspended collections. Just have to save them a bit longer.

Thats some Grade A BS right there. Wow. I hope its not true or DPI is going to have a hellava lot of angry people on their hands.

Pretty sure under the contractual agreement they also must pay the ones already returned.

Dept of Ag site says that fox/dog bounty collections are suspended until further notice and hunters should keep scalps etc in freezer until system recommences.
