The roos cannot leave the property, part of the prerequisites of a culling license, so they lay where they fall. A week later they're all but gone except for a few bones.
About the 680m...I'm a long range shooter so 680 isn't that far although for a head shot on a kangaroo it's a decent shot for sure.
what happens to them? are there Dingos around who finish the job? :)
I think it´s pretty good . The only weapon I fired was a 9mm on a shooting range in thailand 😂
No dingoes, foxes. But I shoot them too when I see them. In fact if I saw a fox, deer, kangaroo, hare or rabbit simultaneously they would get shot at in that order. Always foxes first.
They get left yes. On a culling license it is not permitted to remove kangaroos from the property. I can only shoot as many kangaroos as the farmer has government supplied tags as well. It regulates the amount shot. Culling is for control purposes, not the harvesting of food. The other four, as aforementioned, are unregulated and can be shot in any numbers.
P.s. I own several semi-auto handguns a few of which are 9mm and also a few revolvers. Obviously thery are not permitted for culling and hunting purposes though.
the foxes first because they´re a threat for other animals or why is that?
So does that mean that hunting for harvesting food purposes is not allowed in Australia in general?
Foxes because they're an introduced species and do the most damage, not necessarily to cattle, but certainly to sheep. They are universally hated by Australian farmers, and shot on sight. It is widely accepted that each and every fox in the country can be attributed to $4,000AUD of stock loss across the country. It is estimated some 7.2 million foxes exist here. They are also often diseased and pose a threat in that aspect also. They are considered Australia's most damaging invasive species.
We are able to hunt for food here, as long as one has the appropriate license, and hunting permit. Of course, kangaroos are regulated by the tag system I mentioned previously.
Ok, wow I did not know that there are so many foxes in australia, as I never saw one.
I just read that they have been introduced to tasmania as well, don´t get it why people do this if they know the consequences.
will have a read on this, quite interesting. thanks for the info.
