Congratulations to everyone who undertook pest animal culling for the 2022 Fox Shoot on Friday 25th February. We had 16 teams registered to take part.

The tally for teams who attended the two count locations was 251 foxes, 7 cats and 88 rabbits; the winning team, Amelup Cat Cullers, alone brought in 40 foxes and 3 rabbits. In addition, there were a further 43 foxes, 2 cats and 3 rabbits from teams that were late or did not attend the tally.

After the Ongerup count, nearly 80 people enjoyed the breakfast at Yongergnow, which was held outside for the first time. Competitors at Gnowangerup enjoyed breakfast from the Soul Van after their count.

We'd like to acknowledge the competition from Fitzgerald Biosphere Group's Fitzy Fox Shoot which greatly added to the anticipation in the lead-up to the event. We claim bragging rights for most foxes counted - but only until next year!

Without our sponsors the fox shoot wouldn't happen. So thanks to our sponsors WAMMCO, South Coast Natural Resource Management, the Australian Government's National Landcare Program, Bush Heritage Australia, Summit Fertilizers, Elders, Rays Firearms and Archery, Gnowangerup Hardware, Ongerup Farm Supplies, Farmers Centre 1978 Albany, Animal Control Technologies (Aust.), and Shire of Gnowangerup.

Thanks to the Red Card for Rabbits and Foxes program, through which Sporting Shooters Association of Australia WA is donating $5 for every cat and fox culled (to a capped amount) to the Regional Men's Health Initiative.
