RE: Destruction

This is very interesting and eye opening. This is the first time I've heard of culling permits, and it's nice that you explained it adequately.

From the pictures it looks like you are using a rifle and killing them from afar. But have you encountered any risky situations while doing it? Are there a lot of people like you that do this? Do most farms need this kind of service?

Sort:  

I'm not sure what the situation is in your country so maybe you don't have permits like I discuss in this post. In Australia it's required.

A rifle yes, in the case of these particular images it's a Tikka CTR chambered in .243 and I shoot it out to almost 1000 metres. Operating firearms is always risky and a great deal of care needs to be taken however have a go at me. Wild boars are another matter, with them, there's a great deal of risk of personal injury.

Are there a lot of people like you that do this?

There's over a million registered firearms owners in Australia but not all do what I do.

Do most farms need this kind of service?

Yes, pests exist on most farms, the type just varies.

Gotcha. Thanks for answering my questions. It has been very educational.
