Red fox ( Australia)
« on: April 15, 2012, 12:08:55 AM »
Got a red fox with my single barreled 12 gauge Greener GP . Shot while on a fox drive this morning with  a AAA Winchester shell. At 35 yards  in a dry creek bed. :-)

Shotguns sure seem to be the preferred choice in OZ for fox.   The 22 Hornet, 17 Ackley Hornet and the 17HMR when it came along were always my first choices for them.
 
Many years ago I bought several of the traditional OZ fox whistles, and Andre Georgescu's expensive verison (as well as his fox whistling DVD) through friends there.   Sent some of the buttons to fox hunting friends in Scotland, England, New Zealand and MD who had success with them... have used them myself as well with success.   They don't carry very far in the wind, but they do work for fox, bobcat and coyotes.   
 
Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
