Chatting with some wildlife biologists who do surveys on my property, amongst a lot of others. Their records are showing three times the normal number of foxes this season. Rabbits in numbers and mice in huge numbers so it's not surprising that old bushy-tail is breeding well.

 

CP has chosen a good year to visit.

 

Rabbit vary locally according to the cycle of myxo and calici. They will breed up until one or other disease knocks them back again.

Looking forward to meeting you Sunday CP. Hopefully we will get a fox to ground for you to have a dig. That tan bitch Pepa is a good dog, that dh x dog is one very good dog. The other young stag bitch is coming on nicely too. Hope to either bring out a few foxhounds from the local hunt club or a friend has a pack of mixed hounds etc that might come.

 

There are not huge numbers of foxes this year, with the drought most of the cover and swamps were eaten out by stock. Next year should be huge as there are swamps everywhere now. We have a bit of a mouse plague aswell so there is plenty of food about. But don't worry we should find a couple.

I'm realy looking forward to the weekend !! I travelled light and didn't expect the cold and rain, (even tho' my missus, who has been down here four month, warned me ! LOL !), so my daughter has had me out shopping today for a coat and hat !! Hope the rain keeps off, but I'm sure that won't affect a good days hunting ! Be good to meet you all !

 

Cheers.

I know Griffith and Hillston. Griffith is surrounded by orange plantations. Its also famous for the mafia. I have family up at hillston.

 

I was out on another part of the property, its 10000acres, on Sunday. We slipped and slid around all day and got a couple of foxes, its not supposed to be too cold but it might be wet and the wind can be very lazy!! The young huntsman from the local huntclub will be out with us, he is only out from the UK until your season starts i think.

Just bring your gumboots... Its real hard to get good cold and wet weather hunting gear down here, the people that come out from over there have some great gear. They reckon that your game fairs are good to get clothing from. I might have to save and come over for a bit of sport and go to a game fair.
