@BadboymelvinHey guys,
Not really a hunt report, but something that I thought you might find interesting...

Kangaroo aren't the cute cuddly critters people think they are. They can be nasty bastards.
Mum had a pet buck kangaroo growing up but it had to be put down ( plus they are it afterwards) because it turned nasty and just wanted to belt the shit out of anyone that came to the house even some of the family members.
Those big reds can get to over six feet tall and have arms that would make Arnold Shitzinyadackzerr envious.

Quite so .Yes Bob but none of those Big Reds or Foresters (Grey Roo) scare me but I was scared shitless as a young fella in the Mts Goat hunting & a hugh Black Wallaroo Buck was advancing on me even after I shot him twice in the chest with my Win 92 (not a M65 as rebarreled) in 218 Bee, found out later the 45gr hollow points were flattening on his Pecs !
But one in the head sorted it out !
As it normally does.
@Sarg they can be tough bastards.Yes Bob but none of those Big Reds or Foresters (Grey Roo) scare me but I was scared shitless as a young fella in the Mts Goat hunting & a hugh Black Wallaroo Buck was advancing on me even after I shot him twice in the chest with my Win 92 (not a M65 as rebarreled) in 218 Bee, found out later the 45gr hollow points were flattening on his Pecs !

They are long tailed deer that went to prison and pumped iron....@Badboymelvin

The good old 25-303 was also a go to deer cartridge .@Sarg they can be tough bastards.
I shot heaps with a 22 using subsonics.
Wait until they turn their head and smack them in the back of the scone, the drop like a bag of spuds but the range has to be 50 yards or less.
The favourite calibre of yore for the old timers was the 25-303 loaded with 87gn taipans.

They are truly fiendish looking creatures. I’ve only seen them in a zoo, but even behind the safety of fence they really gave me an unsettling feeling.In a classic conflict from Down Under, an Australian man was forced to intervene when an aggressive kangaroo threatened to drown his dog in a river Saturday. (October 2023)

When I bought my farm in Tasmania in early 2000s I was issued permits to shoot 400 fallow deer each year . By the time I sold it 20 years later I was being issued 1200 permits each year . I nearly shot countless deer , the farm manager shot whatever I shot multiplied by 10 and poachers ( always after stags ) shot countless more deer and we still were seeing increasing numbers . Deer are thick all around Brisbane too . Mainly red deer but some Sambar to the north .@PCC600
When I started hunting deer were the realm of the elite and spoken of in hushed tone and areas kept secret.
Nowadays they seem to be everywhere.
