Bounty collection update

The wild dog component of the Victorian Fox and Wild Dog Bounty will cease at the end of this collection season, with the final opportunity to submit wild dog body parts at Maffra on 16 October 2024. Participants will no longer be able to submit wild dog body parts for a reward after this date.

Please check the collection schedule for the final dates, times and locations that wild dog body parts can be submitted.

Fox scalp collections will continue, and the reward will be increased from $10 to $14 per scalp, effective from March 2025, being the start of the 2025 collection season.

The Victorian Fox Bounty is funded to continue until 30 June 2025.
