From memory only and that can be bad at times I think in Vic all birds must be shot with a shotgun. i think it is put the other way around and says something like all bird species if not protected must not be shot with a single projectile gun. I could be way off and know a lot of sheep farmers and vineyards have lots of problems with them. the Raven with the white on the wings however just as bad but not as prevalent is definitely a native and protected.

Just thought I would give an update on the .204 now that I’ve had it for a while. I am very happy with the caliber and the rifle I bought. The recoil is mild and the 40 grain Vmax projies are very effective when head shooting Roos. I have the savage Model 25 Walking Varminter with the thumbhole stock. I am very happy with the accuracy of the rifle as well. I mainly spotlight out of my vehicle shooting off a Racken Rest. I am very confident with this setup. I have shot Roos, rabbits and foxes and it has been a highly effective caliber and rifle. If it is really windy, I prefer to use my .243 when shooting Roos though. Overall The .204 savage is a keeper for me.
