Good afternoon Gents,Ladies & others ! Well I've had to come home for a coupleof days & thought I'd catch up with everybody. Wel so far this has been one of the most sucessful if not tireing trips I've done in years! I might add that after years of Roo shooting.Going back to the Skin&hair trade has been a experiance and a Half! Especialy when the owner of one property advied me that he had a slight Camel problem that needed adressing!!!!!! Now as I have a real problem with large smelly creatures that over the years have tried their hardest to really shorten my life expectency,I laughingly advised him that it was'nt my problem ! Of course he pointed out the fine print of my contract which clearly stated that I was there to destroy all feral animals as requested by the Mangers of thecproperties that I was working on ! Hense it's a quick trip home to rearm & resupply & then try & get my quoters up to finnish this contract !

At the presant time I'm glad to say that this is just pest control ! Shoot & drop ! In a Pet food /human consumption camp it becomes a differant story (unless you can get in with a decient Processor (they employ hands to do the guting ) As for roos that's normaly a one man show shoot ,Dress & put on the racks on the back of the Vehicle & at the end of the night return & place in a large chiller

I always use a Mk1 1902 Enfeild that I have owend for many years ! due to the fact that she has taken every species of game that I have ever taken as a PH & the shere magizine capacity comes into it own in a case like this! The thing is a camel is not a hard animal to put down if you keep your wits about you. I always recomend the Neck shot. As once disturbed a Running camel streaches his/her neck right out. With out blowing my own horn it's also a case of that I have shot thousands of the Damned things over the years ! I miss & I'm out of pocket . There is no spirit of the Hunt for me at work anymore ,it's like working in a mobile slaughter house! Mind you I still get a kick out of going out trying to get a rabbit or two with my kids !

man the enfield is hard to beat.

ive hunted the last 40 years with one {since i was 8}

i would think camel skin would be a great money maker.

O.K., I'll bite. HOW do you cook a Camel? Anything that ugly has got to taste uhhh...unusual, right? Rack of Camel ribs? Honey basted Camel barbecue? Camel Caccitore?

Gidday Dave4570. Mate, where do you call home? I am in Brisbane and have always wanted to get out for a hunt way outback. Never had a crack at a camel, don't think it would be any more difficult than deer in Qld though. Maybe one day.

Good luck with your hunt mate.

Cheers, Vince
