This video is private.
You'll need to change a setting for anyone else to view it.
Shot at Night?
Yep black as.
And in private Rushy
Probably just as well, the anti's don't need more fuel.
I was looking forward to that, my first question was going to be what calibre?
Damb, shouda got the topbox,digital sux
What is the point of posting a video when no one can watch it because of privacy settings, really gets annoying and is not the first time someone has posted a video on here with private settings turned on.
Golly, a video of birds getting blown......................Is that what we really want on this site?
Seriously 'tho, it is the video the tree hugging green loonies would love to have the opportunity of using to crucify the hunting sector in the media.
As Gapped Axe has already pointed out, not a good idea and I agree with him.
As a personal point, I'm rather ambivalent about plovers especially as the give the Harriers a hard time.
Sorry to be so annoying hunter308... I don't no why its private. Think I might just leave it private after these comments.
Calibre was .204 and 308
Nothing to see here people :thumbsup:
Didn't mean to come across as rude or abrupt there has been a couple of videos lately that have had privacy settings enabled which is frustrating as you are keen to have a look and can't.
Good plover is a dead one:)

P.S They annoy the sh#!t outta me out in the paddock behind my house ! Walking around like theyre all that and a bag of chips with there fancy the call and summer call of the Golden Plover - YouTube SQWAUKING !!!!
Some nice shooting Perazzi worked on a farm last year in te aroha and those things held one paddock to ransom could not even get in there to spray weeds without them trying to take ya head off so went back armed with the .22 and the bosses terrano for a bit of armour plating and blew them all to hell. Hate the farking things
Pity my house I live in is in a Suburban / industrial .. with farmland out my back yard ... not too sure neighbours been keen me tapping off some rounds with the .22 suppressed ofcourse ;) .... Id be keen as though lol
Just spreading the Love
Must say even the .177 scoped ..sitting on the balcony , is easy to pick out the odd one ;)
That was cool.
Next up parries,stalk destroying barstards
I'm okay with them
its probably on the far left!
Thats pest destruction:thumbsup:
Protected self-introduced native .:o
Theres none around here someone's got to them.
No longer, as has been pointed out.They are now schedule 5...........
Schedule 5 lists wildlife that is not protected throughout New Zealand. It currently includes a number of mammals, birds and amphibians, including most farmed species. It is lawful for anyone to hunt, kill, or have in their possession any wildlife listed on this schedule.
Here is the link that covers your arse.:yaeh am not durnk:

ive seen more than a few of these screechers meet their maker as the shag about in the vicinity of ellesmere maimais.Ive sent a couple into daveyjones locker as a gourmet course for resident eels myself.a bloody harrier nearly joined em the other day as he looked about to attempt indecencies on my wee homemade spinner decoy.he shat himeslf when the mossy treebranch suddenly went oooi!!.a 12g 3"no3 steel gooseload is guaranteed to halt their ability to get airborne fullstop
I'm ambivalent about them. They are just another critter out there trying to make a living.
It not like you can eat the things.
A sunday morning a coupla years back I was enjoying a hung over sleep in till the barstads started circling the house squarking their heads off. The flattys reckon I came storming past in my undies with the 12g out onto the front lawn BOOM BOOM!! dropped 2 of the pricks then back to bed.
This post may belong in the "I might be a redneck thread"
Fuck yeah! Hate those screeching native killing sons of bitches! I love lining the pair and getting both with one shotty pop. Can be hard to get in close though!!
*vehemently hates plovers for something*
*has never seen it, just "heard it somewhere"*
Some of you are starting to sound like plovers.....
For the record, I dont shoot birds, I bloody hate plovers ,parries and magpies.
Fill ya boots Boris I say
I agree with you that they take on harriers as I observe it several times a week. I cannot comment on their re-action to magpies, as my earlier culls have cleaned them out, but I suspect it would be the same as harriers. I can make the observation that they co-exist with the ducks, all varieties, tuis, waxeyes, sparrows, starlings , minors (unfortunately), grey warbler, peasants, ;) , pheasants, quail, crimson rosellas (unfortunately, again) blackbirds, fantails, poultry and the thrush's who also inhabit my block.
Noisy, they may be but killers......................I doubt it. I suspect that somewhere down the line, they are getting bad and unjustified, press comments.
But if you want to talk killers, lets talk about the Pukes:).
