no binos, no rangefinder, just walk n shoot, mostly standing at close range with multiple targets . . . made that extra bit special with my sons company

and just to Finnish the day . . . Rabbit n the slow cooker waiting for us n a cold beer . . priceless
Hell hound indicated that something was close by, but not in her usual " oi Dad, theres a possum up the tree" kind of way. Oh well, best take a look anyway or I wont get any sleep.
She indicated up a teatree on the driveway, not 30 yards from the house, and when I lit the culprit up, there was big black feral tom looking back at. I introduced him to Mr Vmax, as it would be rude not to :)
Got to say, I have never seen blood pour down from a tree like that before. Didn't take a pic as too messy, but you get the idea from the state of the dog who was sitting a bit too close

I reckon it is the same moggy I have been trying to nail for the last few months, and quite likely the cause of the disappearing Weka chicks
Gareth thanks you Pengy.
It's amazing how a dog can give different indications for different animals, not sure if you have done much training but mine did it with no 'hunting' training at all
No training at all. She just wants to climb the tree and kill the coon :thumbsup:
My dog was a rescue, and the previous owner in Hastings had tried to get her going on pigs, but reckoned she wasn't up to the job. He also hunted deer, but never said if she had any specific training for it.
I have found that she is happy to chase and kill bunnys and hares(very rare). She indicates on goats with a pretty solid point. Ignores Weka, Quail , Pheasant, but knows they are there. She even shares a bone with the Weka.
Very stock wary, including chooks.
We are working on her telling me there is a deer around, and me understanding what she is telling me :( , although she has chased a couple.
There are plenty of pigs on my home block, but she doesn't seem too interested in them, which is good as far as I am concerned. I prefer to shoot pigs rather than dog them.
The best solid point she has given so far, turned out to be a Hedgehog:D
should have bought two of them Pengy:cool:
That's the best bit Maca, she was free to a good home or was going to be shotQuote:

Looks about 840m too me, I am just not sure where to put the decimal. Well done😆
Must be using powerful ammo?
It blew your suppressor or thread protector off.

It's been awhile since I have done anything with the bang stick.
Tonight's total eight rabbits and two plovers.
The best of it was a SW wind don't know the speed but it was gusting at times.
Which made a hard late afternoon walk.
Only one head shot as I took what I could get no playing as the wind was just hard enough.
Only missed once which was a surprise as the wind made it hard to read.
The one I missed with the first shot just stayed tucked up by a rush, having adjusted again he flew back ward and flopped.
On the inspection I found his ears where chewed stumpy and then the thought was he was deaf and didn't here the first shot;)Or he did but thought it's better here by the rush than going home and getting my ears chewed:)
he's the white dot near the rush second picture, first picture is where I shot from.
I have seen ears chewed before but not like this buck.
KH
Those plovers are a pain in the arse,they have a flight pass going pass our house when we sitting watching tv at 11pm u can here them,yapping when they go pass lol,when u down at the river they fly pass i hate them.

I bought an hmr with the sole intention of getting rid of those bastard Plovers. I won, hmr is so goodQuote:

Just looked back on the first page of this thread.
You're still going strong @Dundee.
I did my share of pest destruction at the local areodrome but in the end I gave up as had too ring the cops when I started shooting and let them know when I had finished.
