THE 117 foxes hanging from Noel Blair's fence illustrate the failure of the Victorian Government's FoxStop program, the farmer says.

Mr Blair, who has a farm at Avoca but also shoots on other farmers' properties in the region, said the fox population had exploded since the $10 fox bounty ended, and was replaced with the FoxStop raffle.

FoxStop offers shooters tickets in a raffle to win a ute only if the shooter is a member of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia or Field and Game Australia, which most farmers are not, according to Mr Blair.

Mr Blair said Foxstop was no incentive for him to shoot foxes.

"The $10 bounty was good, you could cover your costs with that - bring it back," Mr Blair said.

"When the bounty was going it was hard to get a fox (as numbers were down)."

The foxes on his fence were shot in the 14 weeks between late April and the end of July.

Agriculture Minister Joe Helper said the raffle program aimed to increase community involvement "in a more targeted and integrated fox management strategy".

"FGA and SSAA are ideally placed to manage this program; they are committed to ethical hunting ... through this program we are getting people not usually associated with pest management to give us a hand in reducing fox numbers," Mr Helper said.

A Victorian Government source said the bounty had been popular among shooters but was expensive considering the numbers of foxes culled. The bounty had been unpopular with those administering it.
