Re: Aussie hunting trip!
Thanks for the comments, as for what we did with them..
Once we take off the legs at the knees (by use of large bolt croppers) we gut and weigh them, any under weight wont be touched by the meat contractors, so end up being a quick feed for the dogs used for pig bait. we nailed over 90 on the first night, pretty easy when they out number the rabbits and all love to stop and stare when you hit em with the spotlight, hence why it's so easy to nail the headshots, again the contactors wont touch them if they're hit below the jaw line. Also of note, you tend to find joey's in most of the pouches, rule of thumb is: you pull em out, put them on the dirt and see if they're old enough to bounce off into the night, if not.. thumbs down.
As for use of meat, most of it gets shipped off to Eastern Europe, gotta love those russians! the rest goes into dog chow or jerky.
The dog although looking the part, was known as a coward. As in the pigs and other dogs ran one way, he ran the other. Even when we had a couple of large boars safely in the trap, he wouldn't go near the wire fence, prefered to hide under the truck.. think my cousins ended up 'getting rid' of him in the end, didn't ask how, cute as dog though, just prefered the company of humans to pigs!
