okay ,
in the early 70's , up in the high country , s/e of Tamworth nsw . was hunting , pigs , rabbits etc, with me Dog , and rifle . bloody big buck Roo , and me dog got into a bit of a disagreement , Roo actually lured me Dog into a creek ,, and me dog followed ,, roo grabbed me dog ,, trying to drown him ... Okay .. sighted me 22/250 , Roo fatally disabled , Dog alive ... PPL later said later Roo's are protected , my reply was ,,, Okay , I FIRED a bit of lead at his chest ., he dropped ,, he was not protected ,,, . before anyone jumps on the animal rights bandwagon .... [those ppl should get a real job , and live in the bush for a while ] .. and yes in those days i was a Pro roo shooter , my dog was more valuable to me than a wild feral animal .... |

Yep roos go straight for the water when being chased by a dog.
I've seen it lots of times and it never ends well for the dog. If you hadn't shot it, it would have killed the poor fella. I've got a few wild roos on the farm that I leave food out for and have one pet that I hand raised. I have no problem with shooting a rogue though. Here is my mate Blue, he's a red but like heeler dogs they can throw both colours.

I generally use a 300WSM for when Kangaroos have tried to drown any of my dogs.

reason i used 22/250 , was with Tags - to sell either the meat , or skins - 22cal left a small hole in the skin , for selling . and are tru ,reloads @ 'round 3200/ heavy load 4200 Fps - you could not have both ways , one tag per roo, either sell tha meat , - OR - the skin .. at the time it was 'bout 6-8cents a kilo -meat .. plus ya have to have a local large cooler ,, hence the skin option . not much diff . these days , for pigs .444 Marlin , all legit.. cheers .. mc.. ps , what kickback? anywhere near 45/70 .. |
