Some foxes aren't all that bright. I saw one jumping above the tall grass late one afternoon. I didn't know he was in the area until he did so. I was about 200m away and he must've heard me approaching and wanted a better look to see what was making the noise. I got him a couple of days later.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Driving out last night and a mob of big boys stand there watching me plucked two out and added a couple average ones as well , loads of work to do on this place I’ve taken a hundred already and I saw at least 300 last night and that’s being conservative happy days the small buggers make it hard to get to the big ones

Was over bowhunting in the Northern Territory a month ago. In a very small general store (Baraloola) in the frozen meat department they were offering Kangaroo tail, skin on. Cost was about $20 A for a 4# tail, which was probably 30" long and 3" in diameter at the base.

Sure is different, my biggest surprise is just how big some of them are. Moose with a bow is also a lot of fun, not for the faint of heart! lol Cheers

Apologies if it's been asked - what do the bigger kangaroos weigh?

Anyone can stand 300 yards away and blast an animal into the next life. You have to understand a lot more bow hunting, especially if you are on the ground and not in a tree stand. Would be cool to have some Fosters with you sir!

Likewise mate if you’re ever In the country I’d have a beer maybe not a fosters! 😂 we drink great Northern down south here ironically I’m open to all types of hunting as each brings its challenges and advantages our bush is a hell of a lot different to yours most our deer live in the thickest most dense bush where 60yards is a long way cross gully hunting is more prevalent in the east from here or farm fringes offer longer shots but a lot of our country you couldn’t even take a horse dead fall and scrub kills you and you spend more time crawling on your knees good spots are sacred

Another time I was bow hunting elk along a wide creek at daybreak and came across a huge pile of STEAMING Grizz poop, could not see past 6 feet into the brush on either side of the creek, that was nerve-racking. Another time I shot a Mule Deer and it run into some 6 to 7 feet high Switchgrass that I could not see past a foot in front of me, while following his trail in the grass again I stumbled into some freshly made Grizz poop, that made the hair on the back stand to attention. Would not want to have a bear come at me in that stuff! GAME OVER!!!
It looked Like this

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

You would think that them Roos would be using their hind legs more than their Fists, way more power!
I would hate to be kicked by one!

Being killed by a Great White is considered a Mercy Killing compared to being eaten alive by a bear.
