Brown bomber was my lunch today, not going to feed that to the wasps:D
http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...91/#post355346 :yaeh am not durnk:
Fuck you guys rub it in:P
The ingredients used for the wasp trap was a tablespoonful of honey and mixed with warm water too disolve. Then added a squirt of vanila essence which ferments in the sun.There has been no sun since it was set:ORLY: The wasps sink to the bottom,there was a dozen in there today. Also shot 3 magpies:)
6 goats , all billies , 4 of them very big , at 177-211 yds , out of a mob of 9 , with the Hornet , all done by single loading the rds in , as the reloads are TOO long for the magazine , its about time , I pulled finger & knocked out the 2 pins & 2 spacer blocks from the magazine .
Out after Fallow again, spot them in the mist at 150m but not getting a good target, so move in closer, found f***n rhyolite on our 70 degree slopping track, slip and landed fair on my arse.
Add insult to injury put my right hand down on the ground to get up and find a nice big piece of Blackberry, now I'm really pissed. Finally find my composure turn on my newly acquired m24 and bingo there they are at 120m on the RUN !!
Any how dispatch 3 possums and pluck em, then walk back to the house.
Attachment 35901From a while ago a very satisfying day
Hi Dundee - talking to a lady today on a rural block who wants to trap some magpies - she sees them attacking Tui as they fly between blocks of bush
Have you or others got any advice on best type of traps/cages - and best way to deal with them when they are trapped
She was told that shooting them in a cage wasn’t the best idea as the next one wouldn’t enter
If she was to shoot them - I guess a 22 is the most simple process
Hi Time Out,my homemade trap has worn out but was certainly better than the one I are using now. The good old possum cage trap baited with a bit of mutton fat is in use now and I are getting one or more daily.

I shoot them in the cage with .22 and they keep coming back. It is more sportsman like and fun to open cage and shoot on the wing with shotgun.

My set up now is working well,live decoy in cage next to bait trap. Have caught 16 this month.Counted 32 up the back the other night.
Old pic this works for me;)

Looks like the cage works well for magpies Dundee
Found your home made trap somewhere else - looks simple and lethal - No 8 wire and gravity looks pretty effective - your magpie kill numbers are amazing
We have a plague of mynas, doves and hedgehogs at home - I have a cage set and get the odd HH but the birds are too smart
I am going to build your frame/netting trap for the back yard
Didn’t know that you got kicked from over there :wtfsmilie:
Two juvenile hares

The spotting scope is very good , however I am not at taking photos with a digital camera thru it .
Whats that noise the Mrs said last night? Bloody possum havnt seen one of the feckers in 7 years, so out to the orchard in light rain with spotlight and 22 shot him ok but didn't fall out of the tree till morning. On the way to the dump found the little fella Attachment 35963
Then this avo his dad put in an appearance big mistake.
Attachment 35965
Ok this may look like a nights work but it was only 4 minuets?!:wtfsmilie: My mate timed it...
8 of them in one tree, they had stripped it bare so no cover from the hail of .22 and .17 cal projectiles. It was a bit like a firing squad with only 2 rifles. For 4 hours work that night we had 32 confirmed Possums and another 5 odd likely hung up in branches waiting for the Hawkes.

25 ish bunnies with the 223.. good to get out again, had been a month since I last shot a rabbit :oh noes:
Wasps, feckin wasps.
I was cutting some gorse regrowth with a scrub cutter and got attacked and stung several times before I realised what was going on so I bailed pronto and composed myself. Watched where they were returning to so I could get an idea of where their nest may be. I have been watching wasps here lately as there have been big numbers around. I walked down the paddock and was met by the kids so played with them for a while and noticed a wasp nest on a strainer post.
Went out tonight, the wasps nest on the post was the size of the palm of my large hand so I reckon there were around sixty the met a poisoned end by fly spray.
I then went up to search for the other ones that attacked me and found an in ground nest which got a couple litres of petrol and the entrance caved in.

Bugger all pests up here,so we headed for the run off block and the ground is frozen and nothing down there.
I think the pest control must be working:D
Smidey we have all native trees on our section,and the wasps seem to congregate around the totaras.Where was the nest located?
Slim pickings today and a lot of long shots! 8 ANZAC bunniesAttachment 36035Attachment 36036
The paper wasp nest was hung near the bottom of a strainer post, the grass was partially hiding it which made it harder to find.
The common wasp nest was under some gorse along the fence line. I used my spot light to find it, they started to move with spot light on them but stopped when I turned it off

Check out the massive exit wound from the 308 from the neck shot then pulled some of the round out of a tree a good 60m plus behind it . Rem corelolts
Sean found the wasp nest while pruning heads of agapanthers down the drive. Got stung and dropped his mp3 player in the nest.
Will go have a looksie later on.
Yep, they're a good round alrite. I've had at least 3 two'fers in my 308 when shooting goats in the past
Can't find the nest:oh noes: but found the mp3:thumbsup:
Shifted my wasp trap
Attachment 36063
carbyol was the best stuff for wasp's, just sprinkle it by the nest or use a pipe to blow it in. Can't seem to buy it now, pity
I smashed a couple of big nests with "lorsban" in the knapsack the other day, the smell made me crook as but sure as shit delt to the wasps.[emoji6]

Trip into spaniard country yesterday.. Spaniards are not so much fun anytime, even less fun in the dark, with a howling nor-west and heavy showers. Still an awesome day :cool:
Two fallow, including a first for a mate, and a dozen wallabies to top it off..

Lots of rabbits jumping round at work, but not even worth asking to shoot them :(
