Shooting for Chillers, processors.

The box is the chiller.

The buyer is the proccesser.

Some are taken for Pet food and some for human consumption, HC

These days the chillers are often Seafreight Container type freezer boxes. Possibly where the term box came in.

The licenced harvester is a Roo shooter or Pro Shooter.

Same thing.
Professional Kangaroo Shooter.

Someone who's progression is shooting proffesdionally in employment.

Most are self employed. Occasionally there might be people employed or under contract to someone who is providing the vehicle and equipment and access to properly.

Many shooters have help from an officer. They usually just pay cash on a casual basis when they are working.
