Attached below is a photo of a Bengal tigger shot in W.A. recently by myself whilst out rabbit shooting . Hopefully this will finally dispel any doubt that there are big cats roaming the Australian bush . Rifle used was my CZ 527 in .22 Hornet using 40gn Taipans , a deadly outfit on big cats to be sure as a single shot had this one totally stuffed . Whilst hunting near an old homestead I caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye . Amazingly a bear , a tiger and a donkey were seen within a few metres of one another . Choosing the tiger as my target I raised my rifle but unfortunately it spotted me and bounced into surrounding bush . Leading him by 2.805 metres and allowing 0.975 metres of holdover I dropped the cat with a shot behind the left ear as it zig - zagged through dense scrub at 348 metres . Fortunately the cat's head was relatively undamaged and will make a good trophy . This saved me a drive of 160 km to the nearest river to dispose of the carcase . The cat was clearly not full grown and as can be seen in the photo measured only about 2 metres in length . Can't wait to get back out there and bag that bear .

Well done Bushy,you'll be a legend for bagging that one.Good to see you can hit your pussy,unlike Mr Bakes.  I bet you're glad to have the CRF with you,if it was a pushfeed you woulda been catfood.A pushfeed woulda jambed for sure,just when that deadly Tiger charged.  Gunna send the picture in to Tim Bannister?  Regards,Shaun. Kids in the back seat cause accidents,accidents in the back seat cause kids. | |||

You might find the bear a bit more challenging but I know a trick that will help .....you'll just need a decent sized honey pot and then you can bait him to within range!

Tigers and bears be damned! I'm going after a Unicorn that inhabits the local toy store! I'm not sure, but I think he will be SCI record material. Bwana Bob, was that bear wearing a red shirt? If so, then I have seen it too! He sure gets around. Cheers, Dave, Non Illegitium Carborundum Cheers, Dave. Aut Inveniam Viam aut Faciam. | |||

Bushchook, it looks like you have murdered Tigger, now you will have to deal with Winnie the Pooh. Ladies and gentlemen, when I was a young boy I dreamed of being a baseball. But we have to go forward, not backwards, upwards, not forwards, and always twirling, twirling, twirling, towards freedom! | |||

Well done!! It's about time these aggressive and heartless animals were beaten at their own game... More children can now sleep at night, safe in the knowledge that these giant cats are being brought under control... ******************************** A gun is a tool. A moron is a moron.
