More of a rural person really. It better because hunting grounds are a lot closer, and the fields are literally made of rabbits and wallabies instead of grass and mud.
And its easier to own a firearm on rural land too. Which also, I''ll admit again: I still don't technically own my own personal firearm yet (well duh, not old enough yet) but I do have a Junior's license coming in the mail for be to purchase ammunition and other goodies.
Speaking of which, I'm planning to convince the old man to pick up a cheap but well made single barrel Bioto shotty to go out wallaby shooting, alongside a .222, 17hmr or a good little 22lr. What's the best shotshell to use on wallaby? I ask this because I saw the damage on one when a friend of mine accidentally put in a slug-shell mistaking it for buckshot, creating a...rather unpleasant mess and wrecking a good hide. It didn't go to waste though, as the meat was still collected (from off trees in a 2km radius) and used as pet-food.
