every cat eradicated saves native animal lives....fixed it for ya...

[@paulw5039]

@@chrisshepherd1566 True. I've encountered so many cat owners (often vegan hippy types, the hypocrites) who let their cat freely roam about the neighbourhood, including local parks/bushland, where they do what cats do - occupy their nights killing countless small native mammals, reptiles and birds. Responsible cat owners are quite rare.

I'm 75 years old and as a boy I used to shoot bunnies with an old single shot .22. I next used a firearm in the Australian Army in the 1960s, the old SLR. That was a terrific rifle. But i have never seen any rifles like the ones you blokes are using. I would just love to have another shot before I head off into the Great Unknown.

For decades I've always named any ginger cat Merkin. It's an endless source of amusement - a gift that keeps giving. I hereby grant permission to you Nathan, of *EDGE or the OUTBACK* to continue this fine tradition. Remember though, to preserve the purity of the tradition ginger cats only get the name Merkin - it's a big responsibility. I feel a man of your calibre (did you like that?) is up to this lofty responsibility. Righto, now we've got all that shit out of the way how about an exploding Merkin with a .308 130gn hollow point??

[@bruceinoz8002]

Great video: "A Romp in the Swamp"! Equipment weight: A couple of decades ago, "Ultra-Light Arms" , in the USA, answered the pedestrian hunter's dream. Super-light but extremely rigid synthetic stocks. "Lightened" actions ; fluted receivers and bolts. "pencil" barrels The barreled actions were basically "glued" into the stocks. (The barrels were stress-relieved first. and the stocks were carefully "sealed, to prevent moisture "wicking" down any glass fibres. Expensive? Compared to a "stock" Remington or Ruger, they certainly were, but they were intended for (well-heeled) folk who trek in seriously hilly or "difficult" terrain to bag a bunch of venison and a hat-rack. Modern "alloy" chassis systems are also very stable, but the weight of all the Gucci gear adds up. Robust, "lightweight optics" are another challenge, especially in the thermal and image-intensifier fields. If you can "skinny down" your rifle, there is a bit of "wriggle-room" for optics options that are up to the task.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

You need do be very careful if planning to eat wild pigs in Australia. They can carry parasites and diseases. Not saying you can't, but you need to know what to check for.

[@StevenCampbell1955]

@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Thanks, I wasn't sure. Which I will explain further, While living in Hughenden, a place of wide open spaces , dust and rocks and pigs pestering the new born sheep, I was invited to eat as much pork as I could put on a fork. A mate had some wild pigs he had caught and fattened on corn for a couple of months. " Steve, come and give me a hand tomorrow morning and I will fill your freezer." After dawn and a can of reviving ale (for timing the drive) we arrived at his camouflaged pig pen well off the side of a dirt road ,off a side track and then just up a bush trail. He shot a good sized boar and we scrubbed it in hot water then he did his knife work in a flash, opening up each internal part and explaining what to look for as far as disease and whatnot. ( Being forty years ago, I may have failed to file that information to recall today but he was thorough then.) He used to be a butcher closer to the coast so he didn't muck about. Two of us could just hug and struggle that big bugger to hang from a tree. We did another big one in even quicker time as I was less of an annoyance and probably didn't get in the way so often. We flung both pigs in the back of his ute and drove back to town where he dropped off me and my pig, the bigger one. The trouble being then to ring the Pararie (?) butcher to come get him to do the business as my mate had no time that day for his shift started after lunch. The Pararie butcher couldn't come until afternoon so I had to sit about drinking moderately and brushing flies off'n muh good buddy hanging in a wattle tree outside my caravan. A good day when the butcher arrived in his refrige-van and hauled him away though. Dressed and banged into my freezer two days later he charged me eleven dollar. Maaaate, I had barbecue every Friday night, Saturday arvo and any other day of the week for ages. We got bloody sick of eating pork roasts, thick bacon, chops. I gave another bloke in the caqravan park about a armload for his family just to get rid of some. Anyway a couple of weeks later , the same butcher mate says after a couple of beers. " Steve, come and give me a hand on Saturday morning and I will fill you r freezer for Ya. How are you off for steaks?" He then showed me how to dress someone's (?) steer. Jeebus we ate like kings out West. One time I had to make room in my little tuckerbox freezer so we ended up giving the caravan park dogs a big feed of frozen pork and odd packages of unmarked meat. The big skinny starving great dane next door down, ate a whole frozen back leg of pork in under five minutes, bone and all. He looked pregnant and we sat and watch , have beers and bets on wether he would die or explode. He lived, quite well and got a lot fatter over the year I was there.

[@StevenCampbell1955]
