    Quick walk around the hill over the road from our house with the young fella. Four big hares and two rabbits in about an hour. Couple of 150m shots with the .22, love this wee Bergara, it’s deadly.

    You gents in Otago really got lots of fun!! especially for those who have piece of land. Once before I thought should be at least 300ha, but now I think up to 50ha will be enough for me and my wife, sheep, goats, horses, hares,,, cow to big for me now.

    Seen this buggar a few times while hunting with the M2 but he's always been well out of range. Last night stalked to within 150 meters and nailed him with the .17 CZ455 that I bought off this forum.

    Went out last evening and shot into the night. It's somewhere tahr may recognised. Managed a total of 7 species, Canada goose, squarking Aussie, rabbit, hare, ferret and an accidental hedgehog oops that's only 6. I'm not great with a camera and rifle, can't multitask that well.
    As you can see there are a few Canada's left for later

    15.89 gr hades .22
    Crosman 1322 multipump air pistol. 10x pumps.
    Stock and 18inch barrel added.
    Its a lethal small bird gun to around 20-25m range.
    Totally recommend it to anyone who wants a cheap bird/rat gun.
    Light, short and soooo much fun.

    its just what happens @Dundee if you get into Varminting . . ya start with a sporter .223 with a low power scope
    then the scopes get bigger and bigger, the barrels get heavier and heavier
    etc etc . . untill one day you have a whole bunch of rifles from light to heavy and inbetween

    6 starlings from mob I've been hammering for few weeks. Which is an awsome amount for how wary they are.
    Mind you that's over about 5 hours!
    Roll on Bailage getting cut. Open up the rabbit and hares again.
    1st shot of day. Best shot of day

    Did you find the fun and games start when they are onto you.
    Lot of eyes. Not stupid.
    Activly looking for you when they land. Hiding behind branches, keeping twiggy stuff between you. Never still for long.
    Its more fun than you can shake a stick at. Keeps the mynars of the locote fruit and now there's 3 tuis that feed on it unmolested
