Thread: PC for Pest Control

Good on ya Nick for the pest control, this is essential work for the good of the country. Remember that if anyone has a bad word to say about you for shooting.

no mate, you need to shoot HEAPS of goats and pigs and clear out the area altogether! Even one of two animals will stop the bush regeneration, they will eat everything they like first and change the forest composition if any are left. Think of it as a challenge, every feral animal must be culled!



Btw I got a rossi 22LR semi for my younger son, the thing has never yet failed in any way. Using plain old CCI supers. If yours is not cycling ther eis something wrong.
