Me and the older kids next door used to sneak their dads rifles and air rifle for me and we’d go rabbit shooting. Some of our rabbits ended up great meals, but if their livers had spots they were in edible and we had to leave them behind. The main purpose was to hunt and harvest.

@SW-User I never done any hunting in Tassie. Only went fishing every weekend down Strahan, Macquarie Harbour, Braddon River, Gordon River, Franklin River Pieman River, Trial Harbour. Brilliant childhood, adolescence.

I was living the semi rural life up until I was 12, our backyards backed onto the Yarra river (at the start of it, the nit so filthy part.) also a National Park that I used to get lost for hours in and run home crying scared if I saw a snake lol.@Gusman

@SW-User LOL. We used to catch Tiger Snakes by the tail. If only we knew how dangerous they were. Though, even to this day I am not scared of snakes. I respect them more than I did as a kid. Only 7 months ago I was sitting on a log deep in the forest when a Tiger Snake slithered over my boot. I simply stayed still and let is get about it's business.
