Nice cat KH
A walk in the Park today - 3 possums and 4 rats - deployed another 15 Snap-E rat traps - if the bait doesn’t get them maybe the steel will
Same wattle log as Thursday and same layout - possum and rat -

Big possum was going to take the Timms with her - maybe she couldn’t see which way to go -

5 possums, 3hedgehogs.

Spent three hours and 13,000 steps round the Park today - checked about 50 traps - got 2 lousy rats and no possums
Had a look at some traps at the farm yesterday - two hedgehogs and a possum in traps after three days - yuk - plus a rat - I am going to stop using Fenns unless I can check them next day - I put the Warrior up on a tree Kiwi-Hunter - a very serious chopper - thanks heaps for the trial
If Mr rat had the choice of a GN A24 with orange paste and a stainless steel bolt through the head -

or a DOC250 with Connovation oven died rabbit and a stainless steel chopper through the body - and they were 5m apart on a track - what would he choose - it turns out the dried rabbit pulls them every time -

Got another three tree rats today, put a eyelet on the tip of my umbrella and ran a pushbike gear cable through it, making a loop I can yank shut-combined with a few food scraps it works even better than my blowgun.
Going to batter and fry for lunch
pictures res?

49 more rabbits last night.. making the most of the opportunity and the arrival of a bit of energy in my bones. It's been a great week.

I wanna be you so bad.
There haven't been any magpies around for about two years as the Plovers moved in. I shot a number of them and they buggered off about a year ago and finally the magpies came back in the last few weeks. This juvie thought it would be a good idea to land in a large pohutukawa above the deck while I was having lunch. I think that was a top idea, happy Friday

I love my Hawkeye 223.
Walked an area I've been resting for a couple of months and
SKIDOOSH, nailed 5 inside 5 minutes
Walked past this one so took a pic
Did the unthinkable, let a pest free. Well done on the lad for giving it a crack though.
First attempt at a bird on the wing,it was pretty close and very windy.
First try on the wing with bow - YouTube
I'm on my way to Dunners this weekend.... hoping to get some discipline to some of those furry little numbers down there.
Ha, awesome. Pt practice with Sean throwing drink bottles into the air. Or convince your day to use the clay thrower thingy.

Had the little brother making short work of the bunnies with the benelli the other day, full choke. Bastard is better with it than me. Probably has something to do with the fact he's only given one round in it.
Just blooded the hmr17 at a mates place on a couple of birds, I would have taken photos but to be safe decided against it (bluish colour with a red nose birds). They have heaps of plovers also. Ended up selling the gun to him as he was so impressed, so win win really leave with cash in hand and can still go up there and use it:D
Another lucky magpie

number 8 from the block.
A female, that puts two or more litters too my way of thinking.
Saw another ginger yesterday, it was fast.
They can run but can't hide forever-and the work goes on.:)

This funny looking rabbit incorrectly thought a spindly MacKenzie basin pine tree would be a safe refuge
Amazing work on the cats Kiwi-Hunter and Dan - so valuable to get rid of them - must be one of the worst predators around
I had a quick walk round the Park this morning and checked about 50% of traps
One possum and four rats - possums are getting hard to find
Looks like rats can’t resist oven dried rabbit - a smorgasbord of options - chicken or egg but he chose rabbit and stainless steel
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/.../003%201_3.jpg
This rat stripped a Timms and a Victor - but too slow for a Snap-E - well he may have had some mates but I will get them tomorrow - currently my favourite log - they just keep coming

9 wabbits in the lucerne last night, a hedgehog and stuck a sub in the ass of a possum at 80m.
67 more rabbits fell to the 223 last night, + a careless roo. :)

5 possums and about 30 pears. :)
Shit I reckon,and while we down there bomb the geese.
Went for a quick walk last evening - rats are coming in on two perimeters where there is no outside control - will have to find some new food for them cause they don’t seem to like Ditrac
Got another rat in a DOC250 and another couple on the log - they stripped the timms but the Snap and Victor nailed the bastards
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/...ff/008%201.jpg
Up at the farm today - rabbit showed up on the driveway near the shed - got the 22 out - dog gave it a massage
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/...ff/046%201.jpg
They just keep coming and on the way out I saw number 10.

Good job only thing better than a dead pussy is a wet one.lol
80 more rabbits and one of these boys.. was a bit of a marathon evening. :O_O:
Shot on the run at 140 yards.. don't ask me to do that again anytime soon. Best bit was the way it went from sprinting to cartwheeling :thumbsup:
