    Most important shot of the day

    Name: Cat.JPG Views: 404 Size: 851.5 KBName: Cat.JPG Views: 404 Size: 851.5 KB

    A few of us spent 3 days rabbit shooting in the Lake Dunstan area over the weekend
    We saw this cat disappear down a rabbit hole and waited 5 long mins for its head to appear. It was shot but had to be dragged out of the hole. Great fun reaching in to grab it.

    I'd wanna be 20000% sure it was dead before I'd stick my hand down that hole.

    I've seen what a wounded wild cat is capable of.

    Good on ya for taking it out too.

    Cheers

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ok so I got the wrong photo deleted. Anyway after firing a few rounds down the hole I convinced my mate the cat was dead and while he extracted it I videoed the whole thing in case it all went tragic and I could post the
    clip but alas it was very dead.
