hi how r u no not all ozzy hunting is the same every state has different laws. I hunt mainly feral animals in outback new south wales and other game such as rabbits,foxes and cats in victoria. I use predator calls such as the button whistle for foxes and cats with great success u can get a fox to come in as close as 5metres under the right conditions and are easy targets with the 12 gauge shotgun. I recently returned from a trip to N.S.W with some friends where we scored 9 pigs the biggest was around 80kg, 12 goats the biggest spread of 38 inches also 7 foxes in 1 hour off the back of the ute using a spotlight and 2 shotguns all this was in a 4 day priod in 38 degree heat. Most hunting is done the first 2 hours of daylight and the last 2 hours,also spotlighting is very popular in oz producing good results on everything from rabbits to pigs,goats are not an option at night as there is no sport in shooting a blind animal at night that just stands there and looks at u.I do not hunt big game in oz yet but i hope too soon the shear expense of this practice governs what i shoot and when. Hope to here fr and anyone else who is interested soon REGARDS AND GOOD SHOOTING RUGER.

Hi there Ruger,
I mainly hunt plains game here in South-AFRICA wich is all the popular things such as kudu,eland,gemsbuck(oryx),impala etc.I'm up for my first buffalo in June in Tanzania,so we'll see what happens then.

See you later and good shooting
