Hi BLR243,
Not meaning to be a nit picker,,,,, but I'm presuming you meant UNACCEPTABLE

As I've watched countless times, how roos will stoop to go through or under a wire fence,, I've often thought they would be a candidate for a well set snare.
For many years as I understand, rabbit traps (the kind I grew up with) have been illegal in the UK.
But snares were the go to solution in England.
I had a mate once that was raised in rural England, and he brought some back after a holiday.
He showed me how they work, and how to set them.
Firstly, the wire is soft yet strong, and when the rabbit tries to push its way through, the wire kinks tightly, and then they instinctively kick forward,,,,,,,
resulting in a dead rabbit with a broken neck.

I only half believed what he was saying till he set some on my place,,,,,,,,,,,, and sure enough every rabbit that was in one,, the next morning,, was dead and with a broken neck.
It certainly convinced me.
No suffering at all.
Until then I was under the impression that they died from strangulation, but not so.

I reckon that roos would be the same,,,,,,, only on a bigger scale,,,,,, if you could get a permit for it.

RIP Paul,,,,, the bloke that did what he did to you will have justice served when he passes on. :drinks:

Two reasons I had thought of trapping. One, scrubby paddocks are hard to shoot. Two, open paddocks are fine until you target the same paddocks repeatedly, the roos get smart, and disappear as soon as they hear a vehicle.

Yes I want them alive. I want them alive so that I can shoot them, dress them, and sell them.

Set up a series of speakers that play a recording of a desiel engine, & have it play when they are in your paddock...
That'll keep em there...& be cheaper than a fence/trap.
