Lee f/l .30-06 and .303. No issues with any other brand except PPU. I also know others that have had issues so won't buy PPU as they can't reload.

As I said earlier, he may not have any issues, other calibers or dies etc may be fine, but I wouldn't buy hundreds of rounds of ppu before knowing if they had any issues with his dies. If they do work, great, but i wouldn't want to see him with a big pile of cases he couldn't use

I'd say it would depend on the Mower - was it a Victa 357 or a Rover 44 or possibly a Pope 22 with extended blades? :clap:

PS. if the mower was black, does that make it a Tactical mower?

Have been slowly working on the rabbit numbers on my uncles property out west Vic. Latest couple from late Sunday morning. Brings the tally up to 9 there now.

Good way to catch Rabbit Fever. Whenever I hit one I drive away and mor the other side of the property. Come back and finish the next day. Probably paranoid/excessive, though.

I had heard of rabbit fever but didn't think it was in Australia.
Apparently 2 types of disease are caused by similar bacteria, or different strains. Type A only on Nth America but a few cases of Type B have popped up in Tassie.

It was a blody good night for foxes last night, clear sky's, just a little light no wind and comfortable temperature.
I called these 2 in close enough to nail with the 12 gauge loaded with BB's
Seen another 3 but they kept their distance @ about 100 meters.
I got home around 1am and stuffed the good tail with salt ... peww stinky :crazy: I could still hear foxes all around but was just too tired to head out for another lap, might head out again tonight.

I was curious if you ate them or did something with the pelts. I wouldn't eat the foxes but I know a trapper girl that would buy them off me for the pelts. And I have a buddy that would make something out of them.

Guys don't do much with the pelts here.

More foxes than we have things to do with the pelts.

And the bounty is down to $5 and you have to damn near bring the whole animal skin.

Not worth the time.

I think we are about to restore a $25 ($50?) bounty for yotes but you certainly don't have to turn in a hide.

Not worth the effort for foxes as said.

It used to be $10 a while ago in VIC but that's been stopped.

Feral dog bounty was up to $100 per head, and if memory serves there was one on goats for $25 too?
