I think much of it can be traced back to the fact that we are basically varmint shooting and the importance attached to each animal is very small.

True Mike! I often see the remarks "do you guys eat those pigs/goats/scrub bulls" etc from our US friends when they see some pics of Aussie game. Most of our game is left to rot out in the bush where US hunters make use of the meat.Climate is a big difference there I suppose, hunting in the build up of the top end is not conductive to a good pig meal

I'll be hunting with a .303 this dry season, just to give the old girl a whirl
