You're a bit off the mark posting this to an aus group -- there's very 
little traditional fox hunting carried on here.

Far from being "hardly any foxs (sic) left", they are a bloody nuisance and 
in no danger of being wiped out.  They _should_ be wiped out -- they are
feral nuisance and a danger to native animals.

FTR, I recall reading the area around here (City of Manningham) has the 
highest urban population of foxes in Australia -- 25 per sq km if memory 
serves me correctly.  I came across a family living in a stormwater drain
in my childrens' school last year.
