A top quality squirrel dog is all a guy needs to tree them and a POS ruger 1022 to shoot them out. This is my neighbors dog she's a Mountain Cur and when you drop the tailgate she hits the wood like she was on fire. We treed 4 and shot 2 of them out that day and it was a hoot.

He looks like he'd be good at the guard dog technique of falling asleep on the door so you can't open it :lol:

He is a fantastic dog, bought him from a show breeder. He is going to be a great family pet/guard dog! I can't speak highly enough of the breed.

Yeah, didn't you know? Deer are magnetic and repel lead.

That's why you need those Accubonds with the plastic tips :lol:

Nope.

Only allowed to shoot pistols at the range. Nowhere else.

Nope.

A lot of people are keen on the idea of a side arm for finishing game at close range, but it's not going to happen here in the foreseeable future.

In Aus, we're not trusted to use them without range supervision :oops:
See you on the firing line.

There is a pistol permit for hunting in NSW,it is only available to property owners who are disabled and unfit to fire a long arm, you need a doctor and medical evidence to prove you are unfit to shoot a long arm.

If you have one of these pistol permits then you cannot have a long arm.

You can't have it as an additional sidearm while hunting though which was kind of the question...

I bet the hoops you have to jump through to get one of those permits aren't easy...

Baronvonrort,

Didn't know about the disability pistol thing, cool.

As your 'average shooter' though my points still right. No rights like the US to carry/shoot outside of the range just because you want to.

I guess that would mean there would be no concealed carry ?

I think farmers,professional shooters,Vets and NPWS should be allowed to use pistols and silencers,they put down animals at close range, perhaps this is where we should start, we cannot change our idiotic laws instantly we have to break them down a little bit at a time.

We wish we could carry a side arm while hunting wrenchman... If I could it would be a humble little .22 6 shot revolver... even a single shot .22 pistol would be handy at times.
