Title: An opportunity for Phil and Sledge!
Post by: fightingquaker13 on June 07, 2011, 08:20:36 PM
It seems the Aussie government (which must be sober at least one day of the year ::)) has decided to cull feral camels. This is in the name of stopping global warming as the beasts apparently emit a fair bit of methane. Thus carbon tax credits are on offer for killing the things. Phil, Sledge, I see this as your golden opportunity. They are going to allow shooting from choppers so I'm assuming all means are fair, (.460 anyone?). After all, its for the children and Al Gore would approve. Plus there is money to be made. Save the world, prevent camel farts.  ;D

Speaking of Fat Albert, any one heard from him since his "Global Warming" conference got snowed out ?  ;D

sounds like a hoot, sounds like they should let us buy some fun guns and get into it. Although 10k + for a junky old AR is a bit rich for my blood!

Hell, you clear the import licence and I'll sell you six for that, plus mags and a case of ammo. For camels, I'd suggest AR-10s or M1A1s. For $10K I can do five with mags and ammo or a dozen AKs. All I want is 10% or a place to crash when I visit. ;)
