Every cocky wants to get rid of vermin but they don't wan't trigger happy ferals doing it.

A troll is many things in the digital world........ but on this forum, in my experience, it is someone who is able to think independently and is prepared to discuss other possibilities on a range of subjects that are opposite to the narrow minded simplistic view of the individual that (in these cases) labels said independent thinker a troll.Quote:

Just MY opinion based on MY experience. Consider it a compliment (being called a troll just because someone doesn't see it from another perspective) and a recognition of your entrepreneurial flair :)
In 2007 I was back in Winton for a family funeral. At the wake discussion got around to feral animals and the game meat trade. The deceased one time ran a freezer box for a game meat exporter. One of the cockies present from the Diamantina side towards Old Cork said he had a professional game meat hunter on his place harvesting goats and pigs for the European game meat trade. Game meat is defined as being field shot and dressed. The cocky said he was stunned to find out how much money the hunter was getting for his carcasses. He reckoned the shooter made more out of the feral animals than the cocky made from sheep and cattle.
Too true:o heard the same, was surprised what a feral goat was worth and probably still is...stinky things :eek:Quote:

I'd say you'd have the most comfy hunting vehicle if your cruising around in the d4 not silly at all if its getting the job done...yeah I've hunted with glow sticks attached to the dogs like everyone used to but when ya dogs start going out to 2-3km I like to have the new technology to help me get there quicker not only does it give you peace of mind knowing where there at it also helps in saving time which in turn lessens the likelyhood of a dog getting injured...If someone turned up with a heap of mangey looking dogs on the back no collars no tracking gear no first aid gear or if someone turned up with there dogs that have all the equipment on and well looked after looking dogs that won't carry parvo,worms etc etc to pass onto the farmers dogs which one looks like they take care in what they do ?
Sorry for the digression, but I thought that the question was worth a reasonably detailed answer.....
A troll on the internet is someone who makes a comment with the express intent to cause dissension and argument/fights. They get a small amount of satisfaction from these, approximately the same small amount as their brain and intelligence size. It's always worth looking at the track record of someone who consistently contributes negative and inflammatory posts in a wide range of threads. That is done by clicking on the username of the poster in question at the top left hand corner of any of their posts, then selecting "find all posts by *username*". This then allows each user to formulate their own opinion on the usefulness of the comments by the selected poster.Quote:

OK for the digression, but do we really need it twice? Some of us have very small data caps.
