Stepped outside for some fresh air. Said hello to the neighbour's cat as it slipped past me. It was ten feet away before I realized it was a fox. :oops:

It happened to me the other morning I was stoking two rabbits down a hedge row when they was suddenly spooked I knew it wasn't me that had spooked them and when I looked further down the hedge row there was a young fox heading towards me also stoking the rabbits only 80 yards away it had not seen me and I had not seen it till the rabbits bolted . :crazy:

Better than shooting what you think is a fox, but is intact your neighbors cat. They look very alike in the night vision sometime s

Oh but there is.....meet Mac

My 5 year old Staffy.

Mac may look soft, this is purely saving his energy. Mac loves cats, in fact he loves them so much he has learnt to run faster than them. Unfortunately for Mac he is misunderstood and Mac was merely helping the farms next door cat lose some weight.....a lot of weight

I used to give my buddy some stick because he decided to stay in the Hilux one night, waiting for a fox to show. In the pre-dawn I found him snoring away, with a fresh pile of fox scat ten feet in front of the ute.
Everything else in the OZ bush will try and kill you. Foxes prefer to humiliate.

Nice looking dogs.
