Back in the day it was mainly shooting at roos in full flight on all outings,you certainly learnt quick or down the road lol.
Yes we..all three of us that is ran five dogs each between us hence 90% on the run. We were allowed three rounds per kill.
I'm sure I've bleated on about the South Canterbury Wallaby Board a long ways back. Knocking roos over at sometimes long distances in full flight become relatively easy after day in day out as to speak..like flogging the pool table as such and becomming good at it.
We did however shoot many your way ..sitting and sniping down into gullies etc but most kills on the job were full flight jobs.
The wallabys will be still cruising about long after we are all gone fi sure...long live the roo lol.
