Re: Some pics of game and ferals from Australia
I agree with almost everything you've written there boomer except a buck harvested early march is far better eating than any doe in my opinion provided its hung and prepared properly the meat is very tender with a unique flavour

Re: Some pics of game and ferals from Australia
We don't have dingos in tassie they are a mainland thing, however we get a few feral dogs here and there mostly around lambing time tho.

Re: Some pics of game and ferals from Australia

On the goats as they are classed as feral and don't have a min caliber lik...
