A Bounty nad only $120.? Don't whinge, come up to Queensland no bounty at all and it takes no more or no less time to cull the buggers.!

Can you get in strife for carrying a non deer legal calibre in one of these control areas? 223 for example.

No can't get in strife. You'd be a d*ckhead for trying to bring down a deer with a .223 or less anyway.

You will get in strife if you are caught in recognised deer habitat after dark with ANY rifle though.

Thanks, would never hunt deer with a 223 but been waiting for appropriate authority to get back to me about this so thought I would ask.

I assumed that if 2 people were hunting and one was carrying say a 30-06 for deer and the other a 223 or 204 for wild dogs that common sense would prevail but I want to know for sure.

Thanks

Not as simple as that. Last week I was trying to whistle a fox in deer habitat with a 223 in hand. Perfectly legal, just can't shoot a deer withit.

Thanks, good to know.
