Greetings from Australia

Post by Ruari » Tue Oct 16, 2012 6:22 am

Just making myself known; been a shooter for more than 60 years and still enjoying the sport.
Mainly hunt feral animals that are destructive to native small animals; have a good tally of foxes over the years plus wild dogs and cats.
Both feral cats and dogs, in Australia, are the offspring of domestic animals that have gone wild.

I get up to India every few years to visit family and friends; my wife comes originally from Mangalore although she lived mainly in Mumbai.

Welcome Sir. Good bit of info that off-springs from domesticated dogs/ cats can turn wild. In Mumbai we have several on the road or housing societies that are not 'domesticated' i.e. pets, in real sense. Hope to read several stories from you.

Thank you all for the 'Welcomes', much appreciated.
I found this site quite by chance whilst browsing on Google, glad that I did. :)

I'll post a few pictures of some of my guns in the appropriate places.
