I see kangaroos everyday including Sundays and platypuses they are in a creek near where I live plus Devils and Spotted Cats ect ect. Tasmania is like an open zoo.
Do they ever scare you?
I have heard a few Roomers floating around like that.To many Roo-minations here.
When I was young, I grew up as a hunter, we are talking over 30 years ago now. In those days it was pretty common to have big arse hunting dogs. Irish Wolf Hounds and the likes. I have seen more than one hunting dog get holes ripped in it by a big angry cornered roo. I know hunters now that have full length studded leather neck collars to protect their dogs throats.They maybe herbivores......but they are far from helpless it seems.....

I remember years ago in an Australian magazine this crazy Aussie hunter who reckoned it was weak to hunt wild pigs with a gun. He had a fox terrier and a big arse knife. His theory was that that evened things up a bit. Him and his dog had rips and scars all over them. Crazy or brave, not sure which.Aussie Feral pig hunting dog and leather protective shields.
