Yesterday Mr Shell deposited 110 fox scalps at the Swan Hill depot as part of the initiative.

Mr Shell said he enjoyed the social aspect of spotlighting, adding the bounty was a great incentive.

"It's the way to go," he said.

Hunting is a hobby for Mr Shell, and each weekend he and three others spend around three hours at a mate's farm near Birchip.

Since the bounty kicked off in October 2011, Mr Shell has collected more than 200 scalps.

State-wide there has been a huge response to the fox bounty, with 13,680 fox scalps collected in the first 13 weeks.

Agriculture and Food Security Minister and Member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh said the response indicated the program had been a huge success with hunters already pocketing more than $100,000.

"The overwhelming response of more than 13,000 scalps in such a short time shows just how much farmers needed this bounty as a long-term control measure for wild dogs and foxes," Mr Walsh said.

Statewide, more than 445 applicants have deposited 13,680 fox scalps and 128 wild dogs.

In Swan Hill 27 applicants have deposited 1008 scalps, not including yesterday's collection.

As part of the process, hunters need to submit an entire fox scalp, including both ears and the skin surrounding the eyes and the nose in an air-dried, fresh or frozen condition to collect the reward.

With a noticeable increase in spotlighting activity across the state since the introduction of the fox bounty, Mr Shell said the task was becoming more difficult.

He said he had noticed a decline in relation to fox populations around the Birchip area but said that would not deter him from participating in future collections.

The next Swan Hill collection will take place on March 6.
