Thread: Another possum shoot

Went out last night for another possum shoot. I got 30 over 4 hrs. Had a strange thing happen with the ammo. Everything had been going well when I lined up on one possum pulled the trigger got the possum but had some crap blow back in my face and it popped the mag out a bit and made a different noise. Carefully ejected the case and had a look. It had blown the back completley off the case. Hmmm put it in my pocket pulled the bolt and checked nope barrels clear so I loaded and fired another couple of rounds and had a good look at them and everything looked good so carried on. Must of been a dud round...

That's a good haul of possums

got 43 the weekend before

Worth $600 back in 1979...in 1979 money...so $1200 in todays terms

@nzspearo and I managed 45 between us last night ' plus a 7 hare adder for the sausage meat pile (no possums in the sausages). One cabbage tree had 7 possums in it.
@blip - you were lucky the case was able to grip the extractor . That would have slowed the evening down pretty comprehensively otherwise. I'm just waiting for a thank you letter from twig and tweet for efforts on behalf of the environment.

I took the 22 hornet as well so had a back up if needed but ill only shoot them on the ground with that.
