[QUOTE="RumPig, post: 230426, member: 12824"] Shame Shane Morgan of Glenn Oak NSW Shame. You do the hunters of Australia a dis-service by posting your "story" on the interweb. "Hit in the right place, usually the chest area results in quick kills as they are soft skinned. Drop the bullet a little low, and they are extremely hard to kill, and become very irate and like any wounded animal become unpredictable, so one has to be very wary when approaching them." The Code of Practice for the humane shooting of Kangaroos clearly states the following, and I quote "Point of aim Conditions A shooter using a rifle must aim so as to hit the target kangaroo in the brain (see diagram in Schedule 2), except in the case of an injured or wounded animal where a brain shot may be impractical. A shooter using a shotgun must aim so that, whether the target kangaroo is stationary or mobile, it will be hit in the head, neck or chest by the centre of the pattern." reference: [url=http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/trade-use/wild-harvest/kangaroo/practice.html#point]Code of Practice for the humane shooting of Kangaroos[/url] So the "right place" to hit them is in the head. I respectfully ask that the board administrator pull this "story". [/QUOTE]
