I don't know what I've done to earn the brownie points but my good wife let me go out spotlighting on friday night and sat night AND I'm away next weekend for wallabies.
Farm one, friday night. Quite a few hares were out on the lucerne. The 17hmr did the business. Around the farm gardens, the lady possums were out with joeys on their backs. Ha! two for one deal.

Sat night, farm two. Loads of hares out in the evening sun. The HMR was slaying them, out to 200m head shots. The rifle is a laser. Then after dark I got more for a total of 17 for the night, 3 possums, a feral tabby and a rabbit.

Good looking hares
What range finder do you use dundee;)
both these rimfires can go moa or better out to 300yds with .22lr barrels on . . its doable
Attachment 40009
first round hit at 332 yards 3'' square

No shit . ..no everyone has a sako though boss!! Nice rigs man
Maybe. But .22lr may not have a lot of stopping power at that distance.
That skin would be cool.
@kiwishooter you don't need a ghillie suit.:) I have been using whisper

And .22 lr is zeroed in at 70 yrds
Shot 3 today between farms up too 100yards.
Then went out to my sisters place and shot 6 maggies from 10 shots. Their deck and yard is covered in magpie shit as they have no firearms.
Talley for this month.32

Geez Dundee nice going:cool:Used to be a couple of big mobs around here but the .22 and cci subs have taken 95% of the buggers out. I walk outside now and hear a alarm squark and they are gone:D Usally go into a big area of pines which you really cant get a bead on them. Just picked up a .17 hmr with heavy barrel and once i work out a good zero I can go for the longer shots. Thinking a suppressor will be needed though due to the loud crack it makes.
I have mine about an inch high at 75 yds. For the small stuff you just aim a touch low inside that but for anything bigger I hold at the Base of the neck out to about 130 and it falls over.
I've been smashing them with my hmr and its very effective. I usually get them in the gum tree but after a bang from the hmr they move to the pines a little further away but due to the elevation I can still aim straight at them so usually get two ever time the mob comes in. Oddly they aren't coming here much anymore, they aren't to stupid

Hope to get at then again this weekend, weather gods permitting. Zeroed it in at 100 meters, so good to go.
I shot 49 of these evil, overstaying, overeating Australians at the weekend.

I've done my bit on the over stayers to, 34 magpies for the month and only 5 were trapped.
Here is the proof of the August 2015 magpie cullAttachment 40284
Packhorse asked me to look up an old diary at the end of August of 2005
Attachment 40285
On average I cull 1000 a year,trapping and shooting.
Tonight I went out to my sisters place and dropped three at 76yrd,took my range finder @Gibo :D

Sean is going for a sleep over with the slug gun as they have shit loads in that hedge and the 7 acre section is covererd in shit.
Their deck and driveway is splatted with shit. I have shot 11 there and Sean will take the traps on the weekend.
Looks like your pest destruction is very complex Dundee - magpies, hares, rabbits, possums etc - maybe you need a spread sheet in combination with your notebook
Makes life a lot more simple - graphs etc :roll:
If you're gonna do obsessed, do it thoroughly I say
PT wagged maths this morning to go to Woodville and sell these pelts.

Are they green Dundee?
What's a good one go for green or dried?

They were shitty green skins,the young fella had just learnt too skin them.21 pelts for $105 almost the same as plucking.
I'll ask him when he gets in.
Give that tractor a clean and some harrows to pull.
Father in law uses his on a daily basis, same year as that one I think. :thumbsup:
My old man bought one to run our fire wood saw. Put new points, leads, rad hoses and it runs like a dream. Starts straight away to, top little tractor
