Just curious Jim , do you hunt ,or are you allowed to hunt "Roo's " in Australia ?

G'day Bruce

Property owners can get permits to reduce their numbers (because they're native animals), they are shot in their millions. I've shot hundreds for dog food, its not an animal that I enjoy shooting or want to shoot.

My boys and I hunt feral goats, wild boars, rabbits, foxes, feral cats and ducks. We've tried for ages for deer with no success .....we only ever see them when we haven't got a rifle!

You can hunt wild horses, wild donkeys, wild camels, wild water buffalo and there are millions of deer (lots of species) .....all these introduced feral animals and there are endless endless numbers of them can all be hunted 365 days a year and 24 hours a day (with spotlights) to try and reduce their numbers and the impact they have on the country. We don't have hunting seasons here, its a permanent open season to cull them......and their numbers just keep increasing.
