Mr Foxy Gentleman Your Days Are Numbered!!

At our property, Cudbugga Forest, on the NSW South Coast, five hours south of Sydney, we have a 70 acre Voluntary Conservation Agreement Area. Recently we decided to run a fox baiting program but first a chance came up to run three secret cameras in our forest for a fortnight. Biodiversity officer with the Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, Wil Allen, set the cameras up and left them filming a special lure of peanut butter and truffle oil, hidden in a piece of plumbing pipe. The idea was to get some baseline information about what lived in the forest prior to our 'War on Ferals'. The short answer: at least one exquisitely spectacular fox. We got him on our candid camera and over the next year we plan to run a film monitoring program to see whether the wildlife recovers now that Mr Foxy Gentleman is dead.
