Bush turkeys?
When I was up there the blackfella's called the bustard a "bush turkey", but they're protected, or were back in the '90's.
Biggest feral problem where I was was donkey herds. The were culling them by helicopter back then.


Just to clarify. .Bush turkeys on the east coast are those little black buggers with either purple or yellow crops that dig the sh@t out of ya garden and build huge mounds for nests. The bustard is called a plains turkey and don't build mounds. They are both native and therefore protected.

All native land animals are protected that's why you need permit to cull roos etc and why you aren't meant to shoot snakes unless they are a direct threat :thumbsup:

I think all animals are protected. Even non-natives need to be declared feral or given pest status before we can shoot them.

Ya may be right there mate. I can't think of any non natives that aren't declared feral though. In qld anyway. :thumbsup:

Say what you will fellas,but I travel from state to state and around the outback.
Whether the chance arises to go hunting ,or I am stuck in the pitch black way out west somewhere broken down,I will always feel safer with a rifle locked in the vehicle with me.
