An example - hunting hog deer with hounds, the hog deer were known to drop dead from the exertion. From a reputable author and book perhaps "Deer of Australia" (/) if so the bible of deer hunting.

Other examples as well in varuous references as to why it is considered unfair to use coursing hounds nn various species.

I'm not a know it all expert and willing to take guidance from people more knwledgeable than I.

Why allow it on pigs and not eg on deer? Got to do with the 'nobility' of the beast. And people that can't see the difference are blind.

The first paragraph. Take kangaroos as an example. Where they are not shot at, they will stay maybe 50 to 100 metres away from a person. Try to get say in bow range and they always see you and hope another hundred metres away.

Where they are shot a lot at. Their defences are also very attuned, ad maybe the distance they keep to humans is more like 600 metres. This at least was mt experience on a NSW irrigated farm while hunting pigs. Those roos were damned wary. Were obviously shot at by every joker coming on the property. The farmer had asked us to shoot some.

The roo examples are daylight hunting, not spotlighting.

Animals adapt to man and modern technology.

But of course it is easiier to kill an animal with a modern rifle compared to a spear.

As to the title of this thread, maybe we should also start one "Hunting Bogans" and have a moan about them. That is a much easier discussiion.
