    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    mutton is fatty and will put it on your dogs almost as well as possum but they fart almost as well too.
    trumps dog roll worked well for us for years till we got a bad batch and went off it.

    My friends in question used to live not far up the road from you on Messie station.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Chicken frames also do the bizzo.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    there should still be possums around,when your out spotlighting bunnies next look around any rock piles/bluffy bits etc that's where we used to find them in Tarras and still do in the Hunter hills.

    I get mine each week from new world 2$ per tray grab a 10 trays and give him a couple morning and night will chuck weight if its a tucker problem.
    go to a local butcher better deals on brisket bones than the supermarkets ie banana box for ten buks or goodsize bags for 6$.,
    the guys tellin you to feed possum lots are setting you up believe me if you feed possun to reguly farts will be the lest of your problems and i,ve never found it to be a good fattener anyway.
    theres a reason they feed it and horse to greyhounds good for thier coats tho.
    leftovers covered in gravy do pups well fat and seepings off the roasts poured over leftovers will be almost as good.
