ANNOUNCEMENT

The Feral 400 Conservation Hunting Award


The Outdoor Life Radio Program, in association with Winchester Australia, are pleased to announce an Australia wide feral cat bounty hunt.

It is well known how much damage feral cats do to our native fauna, especially to ground nesters. There are no predators of any significance to feral cats in Australia.

And since the fox and wild dog bounty has just finished in Victoria, we thought it timely to introduce the Feral 400 Award to Australian hunters.

Hunters will be encouraged to shoot any cats they see and then send us a photo as proof of the hunt. The photos will not be published. They are just as proof so the hunter can be entered in our draw.

The winner will receive $150 cash plus $250 worth of Winchester items.. ie a magnificent pair of Winchester 8x42 waterproof binoculars and a Winchester shooters kit bag.
The first award closes November 30th. Winner announced on Dec. 5th show.

The details of the bounty lottery will be broadcast starting this Wednesday and it is open to everyone.

We think this is a great opportunity to involve all licensed shooters in conservation hunting, and will repeat the award in the following months if it proves to be successful.

Additional information can be received by calling Bill Davey on 0415662122
