[QUOTE="davidpollock, post: 2045, member: 633"] Thanks for the Replies, Gun laws are alot stricter than they were before 1996. at the moment it is hard to get a licence for a semi-auto rifle or shotgun and pump action shotguns are hard to get also, abou the only way to get a semi-auto is to be a landholder with alot of feral animals to control and even then it is not easy, As for long distance shooting there is alotof open space and in central Australia, Wild Donkey shooting for overseas generally North American hunters has become popular, wild donkeys and camels are pest animals in the desert and a company called Hunt Asutralia, i think they are on the web , have hunts where they shoot up to 1,000 donkeys in few days. the best way to hunt ferals in Australia for an overseas hunter is to contact a safari operator as they can arrange permits for importing firearms and plaaning trips, Craig Boddington and the guy that runs Nosler have featured in a few Australin magazines hunting Buffalo in the Northern Territory, i would love to hunt Big game in North America, i have an uncle in North Carolina and on a trip over there i only saw 1 whitetail doe in West Virginia, i did not go hunting as my Uncle is not a hunter and i was only 15 years old wjen i ws there, however i do work for an American based company an dmay get ot go over there in the next few years, i will have to make sure it coincides with deer hunting season and bring my 300 Weatheby of Blaser 7mm, another bad aspect of the new gun laws is availability of equipment, a lot of new stuff takes a few years to get here, i often walk in to a gunbshop and get blank looks when i ask about something i saw in Rifle shooter or Guns and Ammo, Later David [/QUOTE]
