I doubt they do anyway, but just in case anyone “might” take Bills BS as gospel...here is an article from The World Health Organisation advising of the conflicting advice re surfaces...
“is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).”

So there is no definitive answer as Bill suggests.

For someone who allegedly works in hospitals with surgeon relatives, you don’t seem overly informed with pertinent accuracy, eh Bill?

Back on topic, the advice at the moment from DPI and cops (via SSAA) is that hunting and fishing are permitted activities, but only if they are available to you locally. They don't want people roaming the state and the cops will be patrolling backroads.

So for folk like me who live in the city tough luck (I've now cancelled my booking), but for you boys who are rural happy hunting!

EDIT: should of course say that's for NSW.

tassie tiger you've just rehashed what I wrote and put forward WHO as a reputable source of information :lol:

No offence but WHO are a conflicted mouth piece for the CCP :thumbsdown:

Mate stop putting you foot your mouth about something you have no knowledge off. I actually sell the 1 of the finest Bacterial/Viral filters used in the Hospital system today that filters down to 0.02 Microns. I was one of the first people in Australia to sell a Smoke/Bacterial/Viral filter for use in Operating theatres back in 1999. I still sell the same Filter today to the largest Hospitals in australia :D

When you burn human tissue inside the body, also sorts of particles are aerosoled inside the patient, previously these were just vented into the theatre air. I pushed and promoted a never used before Charcoal/Bacterial/Viral filter to catch containemants to protect the Surgeon, Anaethetist and theatre staff.

Some of the nasties things viable when aerosoled include Hep A, B, C, HIV and all strains of the Flu. Please refrain from trying to look like you understand everything. :crazy:

Sorry Bill. I thought you posted up definitive and steadfast numbers for the virus life on surfaces...my apolo...hang on...you did. So your calling me out for so called “understanding everything” but I wrote in support of WHO that it’s currently an “unknown”, that’s not fully understood (which is also supported by numerous other scientists - some of which are saying 7-17 days which would suck balls)... :unknown: Surely, a man of your unique intelligence, with all the conjecture would see logic in not placing definitive numbers on this virus’s life?

You sell filters too? Holy craps mate, your a surgeons leading hand, a fencer, a pro shooter, a wholesaler for med supplies, a viral specialist, a cowboy - a nuclear physicist as well maybe ? In all seriousness, you might have included a bit too much info - a quick google shows your far from a handsome man :sarcasm:

Fook me Tassie. You really have a bee in your bonnet about this. You seem intent on telling everyone else what to do. Why don’t you just give it a rest and let people make their own decisions without having a cry every time. You seem like a reasonably intelligent person based on your posts but honestly, if I wanted to listen to someone telling everyone what to do, I’ll go listen to my wife...

G'day,

I'm going to talk to the local Rozzer tomorrow to see if he has any problem with me [alone] going 1/2 mile down the road from my property to a larger farm in the evening to see what's about. As I cycle and my wife runs each day down the same road for our daily fitness training sessions and my wife rides her horses along the roadside as well and there is B-all traffic, I can't see how going out to sit in a 100 acre paddock alone in the evening with a rifle to knock of foxes [and observe the red deer] will present a risk to anything but the foxes. Lambing season is a few months away and there are lots of foxes around coming out of pine plantations and state forest.

from what l have seen in Vic NTSOG its against the law to shoot or hunt
also the local DFO's are now covid19 officers so there is no one to ask "what if questions"

and a farmer friend has just let me know how the rut is going hard at the moment :roll: like rub it in :lol:
l will be staying home like a good little boy :drinks:

Tasmania has the biggest fines in the freakin country for not being where you are meant too...$16,000 buys a LOT of hunting equipment lol
I’m imagining the opportunities once this is over...should be decent.

G'day marksman,

Where did you hear about the local DFOs?

As for deer, this morning out on my bike I spotted two young red deer bucks bashing the crap out of each other in a paddock before they took off over the hill. I pedaled like the clappers and snuck up on them as they crossed the road just in front of me and ran off into the pine plantation. I saw a bigger stag about 8 days ago in the same spot at the same time.

Even if the government allows me to go for a hunt soon to my local deer/ dingo spot , if I were sick without knowing it I could be depositing virus on the gates and catches .....used by others shortly after myself could be enough for virus transfer .... land owners are 70 and 80 plus. So instead I think I’m better off here rambling away on the internet .... while the red stags roar in the cool misty mornings , and the dogs go hard with their noses pointed to the heavens above

Sorry to cause you such pain marksman. Drink more 'medicine'!

Blr243: last time I went out to one of the neighbouring farms - about 10 days ago - I took disinfectant and sprayed the gates to protect myself and the owners. [I too am of an age and have a predisposing medical condition that leaves me vulnerable to this Chinese Bug.]

I have just read of massive fines being imposed for actions I would not have thought contravened the new regulations, especially as we took cattle to the local saleyard yesterday afternoon for today's sale.

I guess I'll just stick to more baiting out the back of my place and hope a Charley or two pop up.

It's simply not worth the $1650 fine, not to mention the raft of crap they try and plant you with, if they discover firearms in the car.....headlines....etc.....Good way to give us a worse name, than we already have.

Ziad: "Where do the rules stand in VIC regarding a primary producer setting up a small target to sight in his rifle on his own property?"

I was sitting out last night looking for foxes as I do many nights of the week on my own property - but nothing turned up. I shoot nearly every day of the week, mostly on my property and will continue to do so. The issue as I understand it is not about shooting per se, but engaging directly with others not immediately in one's family and thus either they or I would be 'out-of-bounds' and breaking the new regulations. I am not required to sit inside the house just watching the idiot-box or confine myself to the house garden. In fact the weather this morning was perfect to spray capeweed: very light wind from the SE that stopped any chance of spray drift off my property so I have just spent 90 minutes in the tractor spraying - never a 'social' event. In a little while I'll go up the back paddock and split firewood - on my property by myself. I also have fencing to repair - by myself. My wife will ride three horses today on our riding arena - by herself. Later today I'm going to test different action screw torque settings on my Mod 2 BRNO out the back to see if the rifle 'likes' a given tension. That I must not visit three properties just down the road to go shooting is a given, but I will continue to live my life on my property without any visitors around and that includes shooting.
