Couple of red dogs taken near Neering. One tried to swim for it before being dispatched . Can’t wait for the drives to start up again.

[YoungBuck]

Thanks gents, I was calling him for about 15 mins trying to get him a bit closer but he would not budge. As he wasn't moving I figured I'd have a crack and the 87gr v-max went straight through the boiler room. He was an old male that had seen a few winters I reckon, worn down yellowed teeth and some very tough skin compared to the other 2 I had scalped earlier.

Great pic BP, nice looking fox mate

[Oldbloke]

Fantastic. Gee, you've been getting out a lot lately. Me, retired and too busy to go shooting. Sheesh.

[bigpete]

When you've got a friend into taxidermy and keen on hunting,you end up hunting heaps...

[AJB]

That's a really fine looking fox bigpete will make an awesome mount show us some pics of it when ya friends finished I'm very keen to get a fox mounted

[bigpete]

You could be waiting a while. She's a very busy woman

[AJB]

Went out this arvo to try and call up a few foxes shot this tomcat it came sneaking up along a gully full of blackberries its the first time I've had a cat come to the apex whistle

[Stix]

Good stuff AJB...what a cracker of a fur...!!
I hope you skun that sucker out to tan it mate...!!!

[AJB]

Thanx stix was going to skin it but it was full of little burs that were tangled up in fur and it really stunk so I left it would of made a good skin hey when you flesh your fox skins try pinning them out tight on board and use a cheap gernie and blast the fat and blood on an angle but don't go to close or you will tear little holes along the sides they come up unreal and it takes about 10 mins worth a try trust me ow yeah stand back a bit or you will get covered in fat

[Stix]

What...???

You're afraid of a few little burrs mate...

Seriously...??!!! Gees ive seen your beard man...!!

But fair enough..each to his own. (Does sound a little sissy though...you know...coming from a hunter who skins out his foxes ).

Ill be sure & have a bottle of lemonade handy ehen i pour you a beer mate...err...sorry pumpkin...i mean a "shandy"...





Just kidding mate...

You obviously havnt fleshed out a cat with the gurnie...or you would have skin it...

[AJB]

Your a funny bugger stix I no I should of skinned it now I'm spewing I didn't was just being lazy it was covered in those little pigmy spears and I thought ah stuff it ya stink ya bastard and left it what was I thinking I'll skin the next one I get just for you and I'll pass on the shandy mate

[Stix]

Good on ya mate...that response made me fukn laugh...

That fur was a cracker i rekon...
(Ya lazy bustard...!! )

Honestly, a fox tskes me 30-45 mins to flesh, a cat takes half that & has much better leather...!!!

When you do one, you'll absolutely kick yourself for being lazy & worrying about a few prickles...i rekon they're also easier to skin (unless you're a perfectionist & let the worry of making a mistake csuse you to take ages to skin like me!! )

And i used to like the occasional shandy on a stinkin hot day when im hankering for a drink & a sugar hit... ...that is until i discovered Scotch, dry & soda mix with a squeezed wedge of fresh lime & a crushed kaffir lime leaf...now my livers' got no chance...

Make sure you skin the next one mate...no point me being the only one here hooked on skinning cats...

[AJB]

No probs stix I'll try for some more cats and don't worry I'll b skinning the feral stinkers from now on you have me keen for a cat skin I am spewing I didn't skin it

[AJB]

Hand called this dog fox in he came bolting in he had a very nice coat so I skinned him

[Bruiser64]

I went out last night as it is lambing time. Saw a few but none we were able to have a ping at. Except for this bloke. He was just resting in the grass looking at a ewe and her lamb. Now he is having his final rest.

Had the day off work so I went for a stroll up in the hills spotted this dog sitting in morning sun so I crept threw the long grass to about 150 yards hit him right in the mouth he dropped on the spot smashed a heap of his teeth out another good pelt for my collection

Very nice work. You seem to be going through a purple patch at the moment. Which is excellent to see. The farmer whose property I have been shooting on tells me he has knocked off about 15 foxes in the last month or so. If you keep at it you can make a dent in the numbers I reckon.

[AJB]

Thanx bruiser I can't get enough fox hunting I go out every chance I get they seem to b every were all year were I go even when neighbour's are baiting for them I reckon I kill more then the useless baits do no joke
