Early morning swimming lesson.
Attachment 55353
Went for a walk last night shot 5 possums and a wallaby with my very old Walther 22 K Hornet, bit big for them but certainly knocks them down. 45 gr Hornady SP at 2700 fps out of a 20 inch barrel.Attachment 55365
Went for a wander to explore a new spot.

long way to walk to pick that mess up:D
Big rat Dundee - keep giving them lessons
I am trying to teach these buggars that it’s a one way trip up a post stay - getting hard to find - one out of 20 odd traps today

Sighted in my new 17 - haven’t been able to find anything to savage yet - cunning magpies are playing safe

Good taste in rifles :thumbsup:
(I have one of those in 22LR, but brown stock instead of grey)
Nice, whats the specs on the .222 turbo, what case do you use, i know of the 20, var targ turbo, not a .22.Quote:

great spot alright, lots of cover for close shooting and across gullies for longer shots - the Rabbits are really coming on now so target rich - lookn forward to daylight saving n shooting after work thru the week
Looks like your a terrible swim coach.Quote:

So before I decided to remove the scope from my 300Rum I thought it might be a good idea to go for a morning dive and drop a few goats for the local farmer. shooting mostly 3-500 yards, I managed to pull off my longest shot yet one goat at 885 yards, and the second at 925 yards :thumbsup: . all retrieved for dog food... now to wait for the new toy to turn up 1000 yards look out :D Attachment 55482Attachment 55483Attachment 55485Attachment 55487

Couple rabbits tonight with the old school 22
Not today but a while back. Myna landed at the range. 7mm RM might be over kill. But it worked.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c46ba01f10.jpg

Same range but this time 200 metres with .243. 10 year old reloads from previous owner. Brown smudge bottom right ⅓ feathers everywhere.
I still like pest shooting, like all hunting you never know whats going to happen and Saturday night possums was no different. I have been itching to get the newly assembled 10/22 parts special out and blood it. Also for some reason I hadn't take the Maxtorch out for possums yet.
Attachment 55510
Started with a bunch of Twofas. Then this guy... He was pretty pissed after I shot him in the wrong end. He fell out of the tree and I went to finish him with a head shot.
Attachment 55511
Then in an act of possum F*** You defiance he grabbed the end of my MAE suppressor and bit hard!:wtfsmilie: Look at the result:
Attachment 55512
FAAAA Health and Safety moment team. Don't pick up a live possum. These buggers have sharp teeth. H and S moment for possums: Don't stick a suppressor in your mouth.
It was then on to the calling tree (see previous post) and I heard it before I Maxtourched it... How? 14 possums scurrying up at once sounds like an army of cockroaches!
Attachment 55513
It was more like a firing squad really. Just to get a perspective the tree:Attachment 55514
First branch is at eye level for me. Anyway byt the ed it was about 26 in total not including all the Twofas and I went home.
A few things learned:
1.WOW the Maxtorch. What a beast.
2. Keep fingers away from live possums.
3. 6.5-20 Weavers are not a good hunting scope even if you set paralax on 25.
4. Plucking 14 possums takes a long time.
5. WOW the Maxtorch. What a beast!
BTW anyone know who is buying possum fur in Auckland?
Loving my new CZ 17hmr and Maxtoch combo. Yes 300CALMAN Maxtoch torch is a beast!! Everytime i take it out someone wants to buy it off me on the spot!
Hare was taken at 120 yards, another Rab at 100yards and the other about 10 yards
Attachment 55529
@300CALMAN try asking at Serious Shooters. They used too.
CHEERS @Ranal !!! gave them a call and they offered $80 a kg. With 0.5kg I guess that will help pay for a brick of ammo.Quote:

Wouldn’t want to be a pest round your place Dundee - fantastic what you and Sean are doing
Wish I had realised the damage that magpies are doing to our birdlife a lot earlier - you must have made a huge difference round your place:chop:
@time out it is truley amazing to have native birds in our section and all over the farm.bellbirds,tuis,waxeyes,kereru fantail grey warblers the noise of the birds is awesome.
Hawk versus hare..Hawk 1 hare 0 couldn't get close enough or was quick enough to get the hithttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...2f021b5a38.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b89973fbf8.jpg The hare headed out to the open last thing it ever did was impressive.

He is having a good look Dundee - I wonder if he will go in ;) - do you have any advice please
I got some lard to put in the trap and on the piece of wood - someone told me lard is good
They wouldn’t go in with the bare cage - so I invested in a plastic decoy
I give up getting near them with the 17 - as soon as I turn up at the gate the pair head off to the trees on top of the next hill http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/...G_3910%202.jpg
We just use any fat from the dog tucker. They go in our cage trap without decoys too.Quote:

How much is that trap worth time out
