    Training opportunity.

    Live capture rats - one a night at the moment. They get released again... on the lawn... but they don't get far!



    The main reason to do this is to teach the terrier not to eat the rat. It's not like they need much training on how to catch it. That is a hard wired instinct.

    Sorry I meant to put this in the pest trapping thread. I need two hands to release the rat @dannyb, and an extra one for the phone. Not possible unless I wear a GoPro. Its all over in milliseconds anyway, rat makes about 3 metres then all of a sudden its been pulled into two halves. The objective then is to stop the male taking his half into the flaxes... disgusting dog... the bitch drops on command but old Soutie sometimes reckons he knows best. Which never ends well for him. Possums make for a good tug of war though, tough animals that they are. The most violent are ferret-polecat hybrids, few of those around here, the dogs flush them out and all hell breaks loose.

    Bought the big doe home, back legs and back fillets soaking in milk overnight, left the kits for the property owner's dog.

    Yep @kukuwai we are preparing to start our trapping in May. Been too busy with beekeeping and trying to find a buyer for our honey!!!! Could be a hard year money wise so trapping will pay the food bill😊 Kev and I have done a few night shoots and usually get about 12 to 15. Last week we went out with 30 bugs , needed one more for a total of 20 to make up our 5kg bag at home, shot a big one then couldn't find the bloody thing - no more bugs so had to go home hoping we made the weight, noooooo we were .06 grams short plus the bag. Took it in anyway and the buyer paid us for the full 5kgs. He's crying out for fur so we need to hurry up . We can't wait to get started - there are some big ones out there waiting. 💲💲💲💲The week before we were out near some of our beehives, shot 2 then Kev saw another one. While he was yelling at me to bring some more bugs and I slammed the door (by mistake ) I started plucking the first 2 and Kev heard something so walked around the back of the site - right in front of him was a huge stag !!!!! While he was debating with himself whether to shoot it or not it took off anyway but we both couldn't believe it had been there all that time we were making so much noise. Fun times.

    I have a close mate down from the NI for a weeks rabbit shooting , just afternoon shooting as we are to bloody hungover in the mornings
    Mainly 17 hmr work with varied ranges of 50 mtrs out to 206 mtrs so far. Perfect shooting weather with Central really turning on it's stunning Autumn colours.
    3 days in now and we have shot just under 500 rabbits so far, 4 cats and 3 black rabbits.
    Trip to Tekapo tomorrow for a fish in the canals then another shoot Wednesday before he fly's out Thursday , we should go close to a thousand for the week.
    The landscape shot is for the NI boys to show the typical country side I shoot.

    @Marty Henry , yep it sure is , actually got it off one one the other forum members.
    It has the LRX recticle which is awesome for long range varminting .
    Good scopes that shoot well above their price point.
