Mr Fox no more
Submitted by Bryce Day on Tue, 2016-07-26 15:55
Mr Fox snuck into my chook pen this morning after I let them out! He managed 3 chooks before I sprung him! However he made good his escape! So I've decided to go Chris Kyle on his ass! Just have to wait for him to come out of his hiding hole in those rocks and he won't be eating any more chooks!
Well ive taken the trip north to get a boar, slowly working the old pig dog up to a boar! (Had to pull him out of retirement) took him 5 minutes and he had a 30kg sow on the back of the ute!
will make ale good sausages in a few mouths! Just need to find the big one that's been walking around. But that will be after I fill up the tank at Mullewa pub!!!!

Naw not 243
That looks a very big banger, Ackley type neck angle and a long free bore = big wildcat. Possible 7mm/06.

Hmmm.
Shells like that, you shouldn't have to wait for him to poke his head out.
A few well placed shots should just about bury him in the pile....
Cheers & Stay safe

Nice work mate, bloody
Nice work mate, bloody introduced species at it again - great sport though. Whenever we get the rifles out there is the inevitable reference to the South Park episode 'Huntin' and Killin' with Ned and Jimbo, They're coming right for us!

Cheers guys, I got bored of waiting around for him. Plus it got cold. Will just bait him I think!
Some were close to the rifle calibre...... It's a .284 Shehane. 6.5 necked up to 7mm using 180gn burgers. It's a lot easier to shoot all day compared to my 30-378.
going to take the old sheep dog up to Mullewa this arvo and catch up with a mate who has sheep lambing and see if I can't get a piglet.

Wildcat
Nice work bit big for foxes are you zeroed at 250 Metre your probably 30mm high at that range if you hit it in the shoulder you will make it 13ft long. I hit one front on with a. 243 and it stretched a bit
just do it.

a bit more patience in the hide and you couldve found a bigger slower moving and just as worthy target...
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Few places around town have
Few places around town have been broken into! I got back from my Kalbarri trip and went into the mower shop to buy a stihl 660 chainsaw (2nd hand) that was going for a good price I had seen it before I left to go to Kalbarri.
Walked around the shop looking for it and asked the owner where it was and he said he sold it! But they hadn't paid for it yet! So I said to him that if they don't come forward with the money that I'll buy it....... His wife looked at me and said it had been stolen...... They got broken into when I was away!
i can see the fun in a quad. But the mighty stihl 660 is not fun to hang on to all arvo in the bush

I must be doing it wrong
I must be doing it wrong then! Love the 660 but wouldn't steal one! Is rather steal a football, rocket ship or me mates missus. All 3 would be better to hang on to than a chain saw

This has got to stop
The government can spend heaps of our dollars on river enhancements football stadiums etc. But to me a decent chunk of money needs to be spent on catching these low life who seem to think that if they see something they want then they will just take it.
What happened to the good old day when the law would quietly roll around the streets late at night with the lights off or just park up the road from the local piece of human excrements house late at night early morning and give him a surprise visit when he gets home after a night out. Stop and search him every time he was seen out of his house, when he is with a group of his mates search all of them as well, go to his place of employment if he worked and ask him what time is it.
Today that would be called harassment that word only came into being when the do gooders got a voice.
Before then it was a most effective way of giving those human waste types the message it was time to leave your area, then when you found out what area they had moved to let the local station know who was in their area and they would repeat the process.

Well a rainy Friday night
Well a rainy Friday night saw me tucked up in bed, wife taps me on shoulder, thinking my luck had changed I sprang up. But i get informed 8 of her 30 chooks had been eaten and she's been outside finding them in the rain. No good.
on goes rain jacket, find head torch, grab rifle, let dog out.
off I go to see the damage. Well as soon as I got to the chook pen and did a sweep of the paddock with head torch 2x sets of eyes pop up in the long grass. Great dogs taken back off to bed. Off I go well after falling into the hole I dug for a fruit tree 4 months ago, stepping on God knows how many make believe snakes I find myself looking through the scope. Straining to see the outline of one very fat fox in the rain. The tell tail whack confirmed I had euthanised mr fox. Flicked the head torch around again and sure enough the 2nd fox is 300m in the next paddock. Deciding wether it was wise to tackle electric fence in jocks and a wet jacket.
by now it's really raining and I'm deciding wether eggs are worth it, anyway the fox hung around enough for me to get within shooting range and the rest is history.
