i think its 100 meters,200 meters at a hand sized target out of a window of a ute while doable would end with a lot of roos with no noses ect. you dont need long shots, roos just stand there, its like shooting a tree....
Officers from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning visited a Pastoria East property on Wednesday night to inspect the bodies of 23 kangaroos that wildlife rescuers claimed had been incorrectly shot and left to die from their injuries.

This one is going to bite. Anybody else who wants a permit to cull is going to have more hoops to jump through. What the article doesn't say is one of the wildlife rescuers is Marcus Ward, a member of the Greens and a known agitator and no doubt he will be doing all he can to prevent any future culls.

Bloody tree huggers.
I consider myself to be a "greenie/conservationist",,,,,, but I know reality when I see it and act accordingly.
I guess this Marcus fella would prefer to see the over populated roo numbers starve to death slowly ????
That being said, the roos should be shot "properly" though.

Well,,,,,, I now have a second bloke that will harvest here as well, and he informs me that it depends on the meat company running the chillers.
The company that this second bloke works for certainly will take Does.
Apparently the other company has bowed to greenie pressure and made the decision that all their shooters are told not to take Does.
I hope this clears up any doubts that some readers may have had.

so if you are culling, you still have to shoot them in the head? i know if they are for the chillers you head shoot them (no meat damage) but culling is just about putting them down, is there a reg in place for that for culls?
Elek wrote:I suspect Arths comment about headshots being an arbitrary requirement is why is it fine (even recommended) to do chest shots when controlling vermin or "hunting" game, but not for "culling".
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.
