Bit of a mixed bag tonight the cat and dog will be happy, shot with my old Krico with Winchester 40 gr subs.Attachment 57546
First kill with my new 22 was a thrush. Then I went spotlighting last night and shot a hedghog that was hiding under the pines. I also saw a hare but I didn't shoot him
What kind @Sean
First hares, one really long shot :D:D:cool::cool:

Good work Sean, good fun chasing Hares and other small game.
Got another hare today. Very happy with my new .22

14 wow I started about 13 with air rifles then once I could sit my Firearms licence I did and then went onto bigger things. That was 48 years ago now but still love hunting and being in the outdoors.
You have a life time of hunting ahead of you so enjoy the success, failures, good times and bad but most of all be safe and enjoy our great outdoors.
Well I've sanded and painted doors all weekend! So about 4 pm I took a walk on the farm. Summers a coming and there are heaps of small rabbits around, ended up with 9 rabbits and a hareAttachment 57827Attachment 57828Attachment 57829
Shot the hare at 178 metres left handed from the top of a fence post and through the head!
Then this ginger mick was stalking a couple of young rabbits, he didn't know the same thing was happening to himself! Attachment 57830Attachment 57831
Head shot at about 100 metres off fence post, took his body a while to accept the head was trashed, expecting a knighthood from Maggie, another ginger mick in the mail. One happy farmer!:cool:
Went for a walk around the back paddocks around 10pm tonight, with the Maxtoch M24 mounted to the 10/22, I was able to get a pukeko, a possum and a Hare.
Was a pity that I only had the .22, as I had 3 Fallow just looking back at me from only 50 meters had a good look at them through the scope. I was so tempted to headshot the spiker.
If I had been able to change the mag to Stingers, then I would have taken the shot. I normally take a mag of stingers and a couple of mags of subs and a brick of subs in my back pocket. I didn't take the stingers tonight.:pissed off:
No photo's sorry but 60 rabbits shot yesterday arvo, tons of young ones running about.
The cheap Norinco I got is earning it's keep and proving a very accurate and reliable rifle.
Will be hitting the hill's again today.
Well done to Sean on his Hare, great to see you had put the rifle safely through the fence before jumping over.
If you can killer with 1080 a .22 far more humane!:ORLY:
Awesome night last night bothering rabbits with Headcase's thermal scope and Savage A17. Him driving, me shooting :cool:
Something like 50-60 rabbits, don't think I missed more than 10 shots all night.
Managed twice with groups of 3 rabbits, (all sitting within a metre or two) and once with a group of two (not even 30cm between them) to drop them all, no survivors. Semi-auto and pitch-black seems to be very useful for that sort of thing..
Absolutely loving that thermal scope, it's a whole new world. :thumbsup:
Here's a very poor and blurry pic from the phone, just showing how the general terrain appears through the scope. Resolution and clarity massively better in person. Any rabbits show up clearly, even among the rocks from a couple hundred metres away. There doesn't seem to be any drop-off in visibility of the terrain, even at distance. Can see the mountains and hills etc 10+K away..
Picture-in-picture box at top of the screen, for the fine aiming.

Some Possum Trapping, It's worth the watch because one got away :D:D:D

Well done SEAN!!
Hard work Sean. Who was your apprentice?
Great work Sean - every possum is a bonus for your bank account and your environment - looks like bloody hard work though
What sort of camera are you using?
Im using a jakd wasp camera, sort of like a gopro but not as good
That was just my mate zane from school
