They killed 5000 of them.. l think the Govt is to take 5000 more too.. Camels are pretty big animals. Ornery and grouchy... Spent some time around them awhile back in Kuwait... l wonder what their Varmint Bullet of choice is?? Caliber too?

Got to be Zmax shot from a camelmoor/creedmoor.... they are good for everything... right?

There's a million of those nasty things roaming Australia???

Bet some here would pay big money to shoot and mount one for their trophy rooms. Though times have changed since the 1950's you could still "Smoke a Camel" today.

Aussie friend was here over Christmas talking about that. Oz gov'mnt says shoot em and leave em. Took him months to buy one bolt action rifle. Rabbits are another problem and Kangaroos. He'd like to immigrate to the US but it costs too much..

Seems like Creedmore is the word universal among the unwashed. The biggest dufus I know that knows nothing about shooting asked me a question at my Georgia hunting camp. He hardly knows a bullet from a cartridge - bet you heard that before. Anyhow he comes to me and asks if getting a Creedmore will make him a good long range shooter for hunting.

If I could send the dumb ars to Australia it would do all of us a favor.

Hopefully a new option for western US feral horse management.

I’ve heard of buck fever. Does they have camel fever in AU?

l remember years ago when Ben Cartwright(Lorne Green) from BONANZA in a dog food commercial used to say, ''ALPO is made from Pure US Government lnspected Horse Meat''. l don't think those feral horses were as much of a problem then as now..

They are big and can disappear very quickly in the bush so you guess. Only serious shooters go to where they are as it is not just a backyard trip. Cull shooting takes some serious planning and time to complete. Vermin shooting is when the wander into contact areas.

I was thinking JD did some of his testing of cartridges on the JDJ line on camels and donkeys in Australia?
