The drought has seen a lot of roos, pigs, deer, etc etc come out of the scrub and ont private land.
Many people I’ve talked to have huge roo and pig numbers and have also had deer coming to look for feed.
Maybe there is currently a need for a lot of farmers to update with some new firearms?
I’ve bought a new 22 and a 410 recently. My pta’s took 2 weeks before I saw the payment go through.

Clearly exaggerating, but they have major backlog along with the staff reduction and the failure to implement the online pta system.
Will be a bumpy ride for NSW shooters for a while i think.

Yesterday I applied for two Cat A pta's around 4pm and this morning at 6am says they have been sent. That's very quick. I can recall it taking a week during covid peak times. No such problem now.
