Game hunting and large prey. Deer stalking, hunting with hounds. Boar, pigs etc., large prey, culling, hunting large feral animals.

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

marksman: "your rubbing it in as well Jim"

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.

Ok a serious question. 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 am assuming outs allowed fir them to shoot vermin

In Qld it’s stay home and don’t hunt if it means leaving home .....I can’t see how hunting on your own land is a problem because u are staying home and not spreading or catching covid

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.

If I was a primary producer I would ignore it. At the end of the day, your staying home.
