six species of deer are the headliners here Sambar,Fallow,Hog,Rusa,Red and Chital (Axis) but we also have buffalo,wild boar,goats donkeys,camels,scrub bulls,horses...yep horses rabbits,hares,dingo`s foxes etc
Most of the above animals in the right area can result in numerous shots often with the barrel too hot to hold mate.

"are there any import laws pertaining to guns?"

You can't use a semi-auto, cannon, RPG or 50BMG! everything else goes. You will also need an international shooters licence to "own, use or possess" cost is about $50US and it has to be signed by your local law enforcement in the USA. I can email you the necessary form.

You one-eyed deer hunters are all the same!
Bet you don't know the difference between beer nuts & deer nuts?
Beer nuts are $3.20; deer nuts are under a buck

I knew someone who had on out in the bush.
Bolt action Yongman(sp?)action.
10" three shot group at 1100 metres.
To get around the caliber they were building .375/50bmg.
Good thing that was hopeless at 1000yds.

Yeah, only the 50BMG, but you can have a 45/50BMG, 500Nitro, 50/70 etc.

Station: 5DN
Date: 02/02/2004
Program: The Cordeaux Show
Time: 12:28 PM
Compere: Ray Fewings
Item: GUN LAWS.
IntV: Professor Gary Mauser, Simon Fraser Institute, Canada.

RAY FEWINGS: I opened up the program on gun laws and whether they worked: how effective has the Gun Buyback Scheme been in Australia. We talked with Paul Peake from the Shooters Association. We're going further afield: we've
established contact with an expert in the field. Professor
Gary Mauser is with the Simon Fraser Institute in Canada.
He's studied at length Canada, Australia, England, Wales and
the US gun laws and is in a position to tell us whether they
have worked or not.
But I'll just background it for you. It doesn't matter
where you go in the world there have been people running
amok with guns for quite some time. A depressed student in
German ran amok, killed people in his school. We had a man
kill students in Scotland. We had any amount of situations
in high schools in the US, Colombine, et cetera, where
people shot up schools, McDonald's restaurants, et cetera.
And the reaction has always been to take the guns away from
people to hopefully stop this from happening. And that's
understandable. But has it worked? Professor Gary Mauser
joins us now all the way from Canada.
Good evening your time. How are you?
GARY MAUSER:Well, good morning, Ray. Thanks for talking to
me.
FEWINGS:Oh, it's morning your time is it?
MAUSER:It's just about dinnertime.
FEWINGS:About dinnertime. Freezing cold in Canada, we hear
you're really going through a bad spell of cold weather.
MAUSER: Well, not out here on the West coast; it's just
above freezing. But in the rest of the country it's thirty
degrees C, pretty cold-- minus thirty I mean.
FEWINGS: Minus thirty, unbelievable! Guns laws: you've had
the chance to study them over a number of years. The gun
buybacks, et cetera, do they work?
MAUSER:Well, I've looked at several countries, the ones you
listed earlier, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and
the short answer is no, they don't. The politicians in each
of those countries have promised that the guns laws would
reduce violent crime, would reduce the homicide rate, and
not just the gun homicide, not just gun violence, but all
violence, that the public would be safer. And my studies
show that they don't; the public is not safer.
FEWINGS: What about in the US where guns are the culture,
the right to have a weapon is fiercely defended? Has the
homicide rate gone down in America?
MAUSER: Well, that's one of the things that really surprised
me - I didn't know what I'd find when I started - and the
homicide rate is dropping very fast in the United States.
In most of the countries I've listed, Australia, United
Kingdom, the homicide rate is increasing, that is despite
the guns laws the homicide rate is increasing, but United
States it is dropping.
FEWINGS:Well, that is very contradictory, isn't it, to what
our politicians have been telling us.
MAUSER: That's right.
FEWINGS: Their attitude is--
MAUSER: But if you look at the official police statistics
and you ask the right question, "Is the public safer?". You
don't ask about gun crime particularly, 'cause it doesn't
really matter if a person is stabbed to death or shot to
death, it's killing. What happens is gun laws just cause
the criminals to move from one tool to another and there's
no net safety increase.
FEWINGS:What about the argument that if you take the guns
off the streets that you'll have less armed robberies?
MAUSER: Well, that doesn't seem to work in Australia or
Canada. Canada, we've had very tough laws here, Australia
you've had gun backs [sic], semi-automatics as well as hand
guns, and the armed robbery has increased.
FEWINGS:It's increased even though our aim has been to
reduce the number of guns in the public arena?
MAUSER: That's right.
FEWINGS: Mm.
MAUSER: Unfortunately for these kinds of approaches the
people who have signed up or registered or who the police
know they have guns are the hunters and target shooters and
collectors, not your thugs, not your criminals. And so the
gun buyback takes guns off the street, but that takes 'em
from the decent citizen and doesn't take 'em from the
criminal.
FEWINGS:The thing we're finding out in Australia is that the
crooks have now got bigger and better guns. We're hearing
reports of machine guns being fired in Sydney.
MAUSER: And I think the Australian public should ask why is
the Government focusing on hunters and target shooters and
not your thugs and not your criminals.
FEWINGS:Mm. Yeah, well, that's a very good question. I
can't explain that. So will they admit that it's not
working? Or will they just plough on?
MAUSER: Well, I would imagine it'd be hard for anybody to
admit they made a mistake. And politicians seem to have
more difficulty with that than anybody.
FEWINGS:Mm. Well, thank you for your time. We'd love to
think that it worked; we'd love to think that we were safer
and that the homicide rate was going down.But your experience in all of those countries shows that where they've had the gun buyback, crime, homicide, has gone up,but in America where people are likely to defend themselves it's gone down.
MAUSER: That's correct. That surprised me, but that's
exactly what I found.

Was that a fuckup by the Cordeaux show to have an expert that said "gun laws don't work".

Jeremy Cordeaux is Mr Anti-Gun himself.
