Viper, your poll doesn't accommodate for sooks like me... There's no "I would love too but I'm a sook that can't kill things" option.. :p

The trout here are invasive... A license is needed to catch them, work that out. The trout are killing our galaxias (sp?) so what does the government do? Protect the trout. Of course, the galaxias don't make them money, trout do, so save the trout, right? :(


Edit: I feel I should add that the trout were brought here for sports fishing, they didn't "accidentally" find their way into our lakes and rivers, they were put there intentionally. Whether that counts as invasive I don't know. But they're wiping out our native species so...
Here,we call that "introduced".I would think that the trout would be popular there as a food source?

Very sorry to hear that.
So I was looking around on game animals in Tasmania , what's a muttonbird?
Don't be sorry, it wasn't your fault haha na, it was mutual, we wanted different things (he wanted kids, I don't) so we split. :)

And a mutton is a small bird that tastes like absolute crap lol very cute though. I used to live on Bruny Island (tiny island down the bottom of Tassie) and we seen them all the time. My grandparents used to take me for walks up the neck and we'd watch the fairy penguins and mutton come in, it was pretty cool to see huge numbers of penguins swarm the beach. :D

Sounds cute, they are a shearwater species right? So wouldn't they be protected?
I tried looking up tazzies laws (looking for a better life), but geez it looks like it came from a 14th century dictators textbook.
Any recommendations on good countries with little in the way of weapons laws and plenty of accessible land to hunt and fish?(I know this is a long shot).

Yes and no. You need a trout license to catch them and even then you're still only allowed to catch them seasonally. I absolutely hate the trout laws here, mainly because I'm not allowed to keep the natives because they're endangered, they're endangered because of the trout, yet the government won't get rid of the trout and instead choose to protect them! :mad:

Yes they are, and yes they are. The laws around them are too confusing to explain before 10am lol

How much is that license?
 
No doubt, I looked at some of the refs, very confusing, laser pointers are even banned?
Wtf so confused?
Certain laser pointers are banned, not all of them. I don't know how they decide what is or isn't powerful enough to be banned.
