    That's a decent haul. Easy to shoot?

    Hatsan escort, put the modified choke in it, was patterning so well, took several shots that i wouldn't have imagined possible. Shot like an absolute pussycat too very little kick compared to the remington.

    After an absolutely fogged in Saturday where I went for a hunt that was so bad that I couldn't see the land owner horse in the paddock at 30 mtrs ( true fact ) I gave up, hit the play station , polished my motor bike , and got pissed .
    Today though was great, the big yellow thing in the sky burn't the fog off by 10 am and the wind God must have felt sorry for me and cut me some slack.
    Got into a sunny little face with the 222, these are some of the Fluffy's that the BSA cleaned up.
    23 shot, ranges from 40 mtrs to 196 mtrs.Name:  DSC_0005.JPG

    a good day on the hill today . . . at last i think i am making a serious impression on the rabbit numbers, instead of seeing 20-40 rabbits in the worst spots its down to 3- 10 in the last few weeks & i am knocking those rascals around with longer range shots . . . which of course will make no difference when the spring tide hits, but it keeps me off the streets and helps me justify the outlay of zillions of dollars on gear / ammo . . . so its all good.

    @rossi.45 is right mate, it's not cheap. I could easily blow $100 a weekend on ammo if I hunt a Saturday and Sunday.
    Sometimes I just take the .22 as I can't afford to run the 222 or 17HMR.
    Gets costly looking after someone else's problem, not complaining though it's tons of fun, help's with stating fit also.

    Angus, you might want to season those traps a bit, let them weather, or wash in salt water and leave outside,
    Depends on where you using them , but if the possums have been trapped or shot over, they can be a bit weary of shinny traps, At least this was my experience from running 150 gin traps, many years ago, a lot more miss catch's and sprung traps,

    Never trapped before so this is very new to me. I'll look into seasoning them. Need to calibrate them also cos the plates are too loose to set.
