Visiting my back yard!!

[dullbird]

I looked at the window as I was eating tea at my new dinning table only to see a roo in the back yard.....I thought how lovely a little roo


UNTIL THE BASTARD STOOD UP!!! holy **** I'm not joking this roo stood at least 5ft and he was not scared at ALL by my presence or the dogs...So I would guess he was a male.

here are a couple of pics not great quality i'm afraid as it was dusk and the light was very poor and the iso very high..but at least it gives you an idea

Yes Lou remember we have big rabbits in Australia. I saw a couple of young males fighting once, one knocked the other over and jumped on him only to be kicked about 2 metres straight upwards.

Did you use the flash on the first shot? I notice there's spot in each eye.

Look forward to more wildlife shots from your backyard now

Forget the Roo - what about the monster 'Koala' in the background of the second and third shots

Yummy.

I would have chosen a .22/250 or .222 Remington, and a head shot.

Oh wait this isn't "On Target".

Sorry - as you were !

Big roos don't fear dogs unless they are in a pack, but individual dogs chasing a big fella like that would be well served to leave em alone as I know which one my money is on and it aint the dog.

absolutly... I would never let my dogs in the field at that time of night..

they are stupid and curious and they love fluffy toys...they would be in big trouble

personal preference is for a .308, but just like me and my dad, i'll allways be accused of going too heavy.....
