there is a big difference between a "pro shooter" and a "roo shooter" in Vic
as a "pro shooter" public liability insurance has been quoted at minimum $5000 to me but that did not include everything that was needed for me to go on public land to shoot vermin and pest animals, you also have to prove you make money from shooting before you can become a "pro shooter"
yet a mate who shoots roo's for a knackery in Vic doesn't need it, he still calls himself a "pro roo shooter" but he does not have the ticket
to travel and be a pro shooter you would have to jump all the hoops every different state throws at you
