    That suppressor is enormous! So is the pile of rabbits. I'd have to shoot for hours to get that tally. But seriously what suppressor is that?

    Came with the rifle, an early DPT before they went modular, off a 25-06, noise reduction is average but it's built like a brick shit house and works well. Tikka T3 running 40gr V-Max, seems to be a perfect combo, 100mtrs produced a 14mm group. Like to claim it was my great shooting skills but it isn't. Just the right gun, suppressor, hand loads and the scope has made a big difference. A lot of rabbits down here, a lot of trigger time, definatley helps the shooting.
    Another walk this evening, .22 only - 37 shot

    Almost forgot the rats - haven’t trapped one for three weeks - getting a few bird strikes in my open traps using orange GN Possum Paste and not getting any rats - so decided to change lures - been using GN possum paste for the last three years - now changing over to Ferafeed - “Smooth In A Tube” from Connovation - nice smelling blue lure - designed as a possum pre-feed before feeding them the real deal
    Checked about twenty traps today - two rats so I am happy with the blue stuff

    You didn't keep the skin? Recon there would be enough there to make a nice ute seat cover

    Didn't think of keeping the skin. I have shot 2 that we're bigger. We are out of town just far enough that the dropkicks consider it the safe spot to dump their unwanted cats. Allways seeing them and lost count of how many are resting in the dead hole.
