Driving around last night keeping the base safe, I heard some grass crunch, looking right I saw a large dark shape. A quick U turn and there was a very big bodied bull buff. Horns were alright to. He was just off the hiway at the entrance to the base, still on commonwealth land however so no shooting. BUGGER

Oops, somehow ended up with the same story twice - so I've deleted it.

Bakes,



But our wise and all knowing governments spent millions of dollars eradicating all of the buffalo ..... so it can't have been a buffalo and must have been a terrorist, in disguise, and trying to sneak into Tindall to do mischief. So you had better get out there tonight and sort him out!



Do you reckon the OC will buy that story? Back in the good old days he probably would have expected you to sort him out. To illustrate that point, here's a true story. A good friend of mine, many years ago, was an Armament Engineer at Wagga. Living in the married quarter patch they had a problem with a pair of magpies that were quite vicious.



So one day my friend decided to sort them out with his suppressed .22lr. Two almost silent shots and the main offenders fell out of their tree. Unfortunately, the next door neighbour was the senior Elephant Tracker (RAAF Policeman) and, witnessing two magpies fall to earth, he put two and two together.



Monday morning my friend was summoned to the OCs office, with hat, and when he arrived he found the senior elephant tracker waiting as well. When the OC started ripping into him about what had happened, my friend saw his career flash before his eyes and thought that he was really going to be deep in the pooh. And yes, the OC decided that he must be punished and that the punishment should fit the crime!....

....The punishment was extra duties in the shape of the base feral cat exterminator (the cooks had been feeding them for years that they numbers were out of control)! So, for his crime against the local wildlife, my friend was given the freedom to wander the base, with his suppressed .22lr, and sort out the feline problem.



It wouldn't happen in the politically correct Australia of today.

HA, bet that pissed off the screws What a top OC!

We have some dingos on base making a pest of themselves. Us doggies come across them ALL THE TIME but we can't shoot them, thats the ADG's job. They go out for a week and don't see a bloody thing Soooo the dogs are still out there and we still come across the ALL THE TIME

Now don't get me started on cats! we have hundreds of them around the patch. A .22 air rifle would fix them up!

Bakes,

If you can find some 22 CB caps, they are as quite as an air rifle, out of a 22LR of 20" to 24". Scoped, head shots, equals good kitties. With a bolt action you with not litter the base with brass. Just bring along some kitty body bags or feed them to the dingos.

As for your night visiting buff, get a tow rope and tow him on to the base as soon as he quits twiching.

...and you armed with the mouse stopping .223.
All it would do is get him mad.

Ahh...the mighty 5.56 Kurz.

Hog Killer
Thing is... I'm the bloke that arrest's people for shooting on commonwealth land, I don't think it would go down well if I was caught shooting myself ....dammit!
