    Bolt action for all hunting other than duck shooting.
    If i have to give up my semi auto then i will give up duck shooting.
    Ar15's are a great rifle for wallaby shooting especially on a drive with dogs flushing them out.
    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.

    Yip, 22 for ground critters and shotgun for ducks, geese, pigeons,bunnies,wallabies, and any livestock on the farm that need displacing.
    S/A is a necessity for geese and pigeons when a farmer rings up and ‘Needs them gone!!!’ You wouldn’t be able to dispatch the numbers that come in with a pinned action, or 2 shot.

    To be honest, i bought an AR to have a single platform and trigger for multiple calibres. SemiAuto was not a factor in that decision.

    My duck gun is a 12g semi-auto. I don't like semi-autos as a rule. I'm not saying you shouldn't, they are just not my preference, but this was the right gun for my duck hunting.
