“One less well-fed native killer,” says Paul Child, who stopped this tom cat with a 55gn Z-Max near Inverell, NSW.
Meat goat

Tom Turner’s boys, Jeddiah and Ellijah, were out with the dogs on the quad and pulled up this huge old sow. The sow dwarfed the great dane cross named Prince, and she flicked him off on his first attempt. Prince bales her, though, and the boys called Tom to bring the rifle up — except they didn’t warn him big she was! Tom only brought the .22 and wished he’d loaded up something bigger. Nevertheless, the .22 made short work of the big girl at very close range with a single head shot. When it came time to weigh her the scales pumped out at 159kg. Hanging up, she measured a bit over 2m from head to toe. They knew she was carrying a full litter inside her; all the rain they’ve had make perfect conditions for these ferals. Now imagine the size of her boar of a boyfriend!
The sleepy red fox
“The wife and I had a few days in the bush recently and we happened to see a fox,” says Anton Van Bysterveld. “It looked a bit tired so I gave it a 90-grain Accubond sleeping pill. Great medicine and we think the fox is still sleeping today.”
Boar rolling
David Papworth rolled this big boar with his Tikka .308 on a long-weekend hunt out near Bourke. Nice shot to the base of the neck, David!
