Re: Some pics of game and ferals from Australia

I agree with almost everything you've written there boomer except a buck harvested early march is far better eating than any doe in my opinion provided its hung and prepared properly the meat is very tender with a unique flavour

Re: Some pics of game and ferals from Australia

We don't have dingos in tassie they are a mainland thing, however we get a few feral dogs here and there mostly around lambing time tho. We get lots of rabbits which will be fun but the main reason I got a 204 is for the be bennets wallaby locally known as grey roo, as I hunt these a lot on a few di...

Re: Some pics of game and ferals from Australia

On the goats as they are classed as feral and don't have a min caliber lik...
