Have you seen this business in Katikati - looks like they are now pulling rabbits out of the South IslandQuote:

so i leave home this evening with the idea to quickly check the zero of my .223AI after its been out of the stock and go for a walk lookn for a Hare . . its overcast and getting a little late.
when i get to the farm gate theres 2 old blocks at the farm gate leaving, better say gidday etc . .. they leave .. . then the cocky turns up, bit of a yak about Ducks etc and theyre off . . the clock is ticking and the light is going
box out of the wagon up to the clay bank 100yds away, bipod on the ground and 3 shots fired fast, .6MOA in the middle of the target and all smiles http://images.fishnhunt.co.nz/images...2774858721.jpg
then it starts to rain, not heavy but constant, binos are now useless, gettin soggy .. . thought about grabbing a jacket on the way out the door, wont need it.
later just as its almost to dark to see anything theres a Hare on the fenceline about 200 yards off . . it stops raining.
bang, flop and i'm walkn back to wagon with a couple days of cat food in my hand . . all good.

Went Duck Shooting and got no ducks, but managed to shoot 2 magpies and a cat with the .22
I use subsonics but was thinking about HV ammo and a suppressor in future, what do most people use? pros and cons of both on small game?
HV is noisy even with a suppressor and if you believe the experts, less accurate, although I haven't found it to be wildly inaccurate. I'm fairly happy with subs.Quote:

Maca you old fool there is a windy thing that focuses most binoculars. It generally sits midway between the two looky bits. Your set will probably have one. Check it out as it makes a hellova difference to the fuzziness.
Another possum wanders within range. nice and early again. Never watched the dog eat them. He started on this one while I was mucking around with ph for photo, looks like he starts head first!

It seems to me that the possum has more brains after it was shot than Dundee had when he shot it at close range in a confined space.Quote:
