Fitzy Fox Shoot 2021

Our 2021 Fitzy Fox Shoot was held on Friday the 19th of March.

We had a massive response this year with 64 men and women registered between the Jerramungup and Bremer Bay shoots which made for our biggest Fox Shoot event in quite a few years.

In a combined effort we managed to cull 190 foxes, four cats and 186 rabbits from within the Jerramungup shire.

Weather conditions for the Jerramungup Shoot couldn't have got much better with a walm balmy night making it comfortable stalking weather for both foxes and shooters alike. Whilst only 100kms away Bremer Bay teams struggled on feral animal numbers with the fog rolling in very early on.

At 6am Saturday morning, all teams gathered at the tally count locations for a cooked breakfast (sponsored by Lawson Grains) and to see who our winners were for 2021.

Jerramungup–nine teams entered.

Total foxes – 152. Total cats – 4. Total rabbits – 101.
