I don't have any experience in this but I'm sure we've all seen the aerial culling of pigs. No regular headshots happening there.

The government still make the guidelines/rules for hunting deer but there is no such requirement.



this is why i asked ^^ and if im on a goat cull its not a head shot only cull ,,maybe its because its a roo :unknown: you would think that center of mass would be better than a head shot in a cull situation ,,get more on the ground faster/easier . i know they do chopper culls for deer in the south east and i would bet my last dollar that head shots are not the norm. talking culls not chiller :thumbsup:

Dunno... may come down to the fact that 'roos are on the national coat of arms... In Tas they recommend either head or chest shots when culling wallaby but they are much smaller and less robust than eastern greys or reds.

I've recently been given a permit to destroy roos in SA.
A estimation of roo numbers was given to DEWNR by the agronomist. He estimated 500 - 600 Western Grey Kangaroos (a very conservative estimation)
The permit was granted for 75 roos from the 150 applied for.
The permit was emailed along with a 20 page code of conduct fir shooting kangaroos and wallabies for non comercial purposes.
.
Point of aim
(i) A shooter using a rifle must aim so as to hit the target kangaroo or wallaby in the brain (see Schedule 2).
(ii) A shooter using a shotgun must aim so that, whether the target kangaroo or wallaby is stationary or mobile, it will be hit in the head or chest by the centre of the shot pattern.
(iii) A shooter must not aim so as to hit the target kangaroo or wallaby in any other part of the body than those specified in (i) and (ii) above.
Follow-up
(i) The shooter must be certain that each kangaroo or wallaby is dead before another is targeted.
(ii) If a kangaroo or wallaby is still alive after being shot, every reasonable effort must be made immediately to locate and kill it before any attempt is made to shoot another animal. The injured kangaroo or wallaby must be euthanased in accordance with the methods outlined in Section 4.

Copy of the code below

The point they make elsewhere in the code of conduct is " to cause instantaneous death"

Does the government give anything away for free, have porcine animals become aerodynamic?

The oy accreditation you need in SA is your current FA license.

The reason some (not all some) chillers only want bucks is because they sell the hides and the pouch on the does messes with the available leather. 99% of commercially manufactured goods using roo leather is from a buck.

In Vic if you are shooting roos for the chillers they have to be head shot, if you injure a roo and it is not killed i.e jaw shot then you are allowed to follow up with a chest shot, but if you continually turn up to the chillers with chest shot roos you will lose your accreditation.

No fee for the permit for destruction in sa, they must generate revenue from the professionals, the processing license isn't cheep.
