THE Victorian Fox Bounty program resumes this month, and applies to all Victorian land holders and residents, provided the fox scalps are collected in Victoria.
\nThe government will offer $10 per fox to eligible participants, and payment will be made within 30 days of collections.
\nPlease note, there are no payments made on the day of collection.
\nThe most effective means of achieving a sustained reduction in fox numbers is through simultaneous and coordinated community baiting programs, implemented at a landscape scale and supported by other control techniques.
\nFoxes are established pest animals in Victoria. They cannot be eradicated from the state and require ongoing management by all public and private landowners.
\nEffective fox management requires an integrated approach using all available management practices including poison baiting, trapping, exclusion fencing, fumigation and appropriate animal husbandry.
\nHunting can play an important role in supporting an integrated management approach.
