Farmers and hunters can collect the fox bounty from July 28.

DESIGNATED fox and wild dog bounty collection centres are now operating in line with physical distancing requirements including established drop off and exclusion zones.
During the suspension period, bounty participants were encouraged to continue to collect fox scalps and wild dog body parts on private properties as part of pest control activities, and to freeze or air dry them.
Hunters are encouraged to refresh their knowledge of the terms and conditions of the bounty to ensure what they submit is acceptable.
