something different

[womas4me]

Yep, cant see anything wrong there. Nothing wrong with doing an activity thats legal and licensed, birds destined for consumption. Shame about the do gooders ruining your post and making you defend yourself.

Sounds like ya had a good weekend, good on ya!

 

[rodentrancher]

Yeah Dan, glad you had a good weekend. I'm sure you were responsible with guns and alcohol and all that. Most duck hunters shoot first thing in the morning you mob, so I'm sure there was no alcohol involved at that time of the day. Nothing wrong with shooting, ducks, roos etc, etc, if they are to be eaten. Did you get those Freshwater Crays there too?? Yummy! Nearly as good as Yabbies cheers Chezza

 

[ErisKSC]

Woodies and Blacks? or Mountians? But thats one heck of a Marron? You blokes down there are lucky as!

I can only shoot ducks as vermin, and our yabbies are so tiny!

And a pretty neat and handy campsite too, good on ya!

Holy crap my eyesight might be bad but I thought that first pic was a dead eagle

I personally don't like shooting as a "sport". Except I suppose for ferals - as long as it's done properly. And like Luke's boss said to me the other day, it's not a "sport" til the ducks or whatever ya shooting has a gun too! :evil: :lol: . And the whole "it's ok if you eat it" thing is a bitta crap too imo (sorry guys ) but it aint hard to go down to Coles and buy sumthin already dead! I suppose it's still better than letting it go to waste but you can't say you need to do it

 

[Spyke]

you can't say you need to do it

You also can't say you need to keep reptiles in cages

But we and others do :wink: , not because we need to, but because we enjoy doing it and want to do it :lol:

I guess the same goes for anything we do, including shooting

 

[OuZo]

I see your point, but I'm not hurting or killing any animals by keeping them in cages

I have issues with the whole killing thing :lol:

 

[Vicki]

the cow that had your last juciey steak cut out of it was alive at one point too ouzo
but i do agree that shooting animals is not a spot until the animals get a gun too,
everyone kills or indirectly kills to survive. its the way it has been for thousands of years and will be till the end of the universe.

 

[alexr]

cages

don't you mean enclosure :wink:

 

[moosenoose]

I don't like killing things, but it's getting easier :lol: :lol: (jokes, jokes, damn it) :lol:

 

[rodentrancher]

You guys really know how to spoil a fellas good weekend dont you?? Poor bugga!

 

[moosenoose]

FarmdoggyDan is okay in my books! I'm glad he doesn't feel ashamed to the degree that he has to tippy toe about the place with what he obviously enjoys doing and shows a bit of guts by telling us about his weekend.

It's funny where people draw the line isn't it? We'd all be the spawn of devil in the eyes of the ARFS! (aka the Australian Rodent Fanciers Society) :lol: :lol:

But all my rats die of natural causes. Natural mudbrick

 

[BROWNS]

Still think as afroracingmullet said the key word here is "NATIVE" sure go shoot all the foxes ,pigs ,feral cats etc till your life's content.The arguement of shooting our National symbol "roos" doesn't fit as there are moore around today than there evr has been and there is need for culling but are ducks in plague proportions that makes shooting or culling them justifiable?

I have a lovely pond in my yard and get an assortment of native ducks which i think is great and i'm hoping more will make it a regular home and couldn't possibly even think of shooting one.They definitely don't seem to pose any threats to the environment such as with roos hence the culling which was also done and i think still is with crocs.That's just my opinion and i'm far from being a hall monitor i can assure you of that!

 

[moosenoose]

That's just my opinion and i'm far from being a hall monitor i can assure you of that!

Hehehe........ and a good opinion it is Brownster

But those little ducks are sooooo damned tasty lol Surely you look out there and imagine one of them in a delicious plum sauce? Perhaps nibbling on some chrispy fried wings with a nice bottle of red! No?? :lol: (I'm not helping am I? hehehe)

Mate I would breed ducks for the kitchen table, but do to lack of space and number of cats around my neighourhood it would be a lost cause.

I wont try and defend myself, cause it will only snowball as it would normally, but all that I can say is that all the ducks I shoot and those other family members shoot are all destined for the freezed to be consumed in a later date.

One thing I can't work out is why all are whinging about what I do, I just wonder if half the ppl here know where there meat comes from, and no not from a shop hehe,

 

[Spyke]

don't you mean enclosure :wink:

To us yes they are enclosures, homes or habitats :wink: but far to many portray them as cages. Just to let you know, by picking this up you have got to the point I was trying to get at if that makes any sence :?

 

[Ricko]

im sorry but i think your in the wrong dan but in saying that my friend died when he was walking through a reserve and 2 drunk guys shooting ducks shot him and killed him on the spot. drinking in my opinion is for another weekend not when there are guns involved.

 

[farmdog]

2 drunk guys shooting ducks shot him

mate no alcohol is consumed during or before I go hunting otherwise if I do drink the firearms get lock in the car.
