Yowiehunters Forum

HOW SERIOUS ARE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE. IS THE IDEA TO TRACK AND RESEARCH YOWIES OR TO HUNTDOWN AND KILL ONE DO YO CARRY GUNS ON THESE FEILD TRIPS.

JUST ASKING :

hi matt. Noone carries guns as far as i know. The idea is definatly not to kill a yowie. But if it came down to life or death i would like to think (as with a human trying to kill me) That i would shoot to kill if i felt i needed to. I would rather spend my life with my daughter...felling guilty then be ripped apart and left in the bush. If it came down to being attacked i would have little or no problem trying to squeeze on off.

Cool. sounds like there is a fair bit of interest. Ive been camping all over victoria NSW and SA. Never really thought of yowies before looking at this site, not to say I dont beleive just dont know. nice artwork Cass.

Im currently in London been away for two years miss the bush heaps

I agree with Cass Matt. There would be absolutely no point in devoting our time, money and for alot of us, our lives to finding and documenting this species to just kill it arbitrarily. Sure there is the reasoning that there would be no better evidence than turning up on Today Tonight with a Yowie corpse. (Gawd, could you imagine the smell!) but as I said, it would not only negate most of what these good people stand for but the public outcry would far outweigh any benefits.

Who are we, as humans, to think that we can kill an obviously intelligent species just for proof? In fact if I ever hear of anybody taking shots etc. at a yowie I will personally go and have a word with them, wherever they may be.

Excellent post "1". I was just about to post to say the exact same thing, however you have done it for me - and also said it far better than I could.

Well said - thanks.

I was just looking at your Avatar "1", and can't help but ask if your in the Military?

No, I wish I were but my flat feet and the fact that I made a pass at the recruiting Sergeant sort of disqualified me from joining. But I do own the entire series of 'Tour of Duty' and 'Jag' on dvd and watch them constantly.

But if I had been allowed to join I reckon I would have been able to make it to Corporal in the Cooks pretty easily. But alas, it wasn't to be. It's all politics man, politics.

Not to bad hear in London
Best place so far is probably Egypt or Croatia.
Looking forward to ANZAC day in Turkey will be a special experience.
