Got my first rock pigeon today, went out with the air rifle and popped it off the power lines at a farmer friend's house. He was complaining cause they poop all over his stuff so I said I would help out. Forgot to take a pic in the field but here's how it looks now:

Hopefully its delicious!
Update: It was delicious, though will definitely just be breasting them in future as it is just a morsel and pretty much no meat on the limbs
took off the 20" Sporter barrel and put on a 16 inch varmint barrel . . . first outing

longest shot of the day with the centerfire . . .

longest was 140yds with the Sako Quad with CCI subs later in the afternoon . . 6hrs later i called it a day . . goodone
What is up with the ears on that bunny? or do we have squirrels in NZ now?
Bowled over a bunny tonight running a twenty million grain projectile at about 55 fps. No picture, but judging from the crunch I felt, it won't be much good for anything but unpleasant soup.
Found both of these guys just taking a nap. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d8808e001e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3f577ae74.jpg
I never bowled over anything today - they were all squashed - I took a two hour wander around the top of the Park today - a week since I was there last
About twenty Snap-E traps, three Doc250s and ten Sentinels
Two rats in the Doc250s - nearly threw up my breakfast on one - shit they get messy with six kill bars through them a week back - seems that when a rat has been in a Doc250 - a lot of their mates come back to check out the smell - a bit mean as I am using some old Erayz rabbit blocks - need to put an egg in next trip
Five rats in Snap-Es - all with blue stuff
Found a Sentinel that was tripped - a very lucky possum to escape from that - only the second one I have seen with fur on the kill bar
A few sample pics - I thought I was getting on top of them - but not yet

Seems like this blue stuff is irresistible - this trap up the Park has been dormant for the last couple of months with just apple - but it used to be highly productive on the edge of a gully
My Mate Bill on “South Head Pest Control” (FB) has been telling me to slosh blue stuff over baits and traps
So on Tuesday - I cleaned out the last of a large tube of blue stuff - I was up there today laying out more traps - so checked out the red and blue Timms - bingo
Cruz disappeared long before I got there so I knew I had something - rat or possum - he dragged it out of the Timms and then we had a session of chuck and fetch - he loves it - until he gets a claw in his face
I admit - the blue was a bit overdone - but when I am desperate - I will try anything

These two flushed a rat and the hairy one got it. Good Dog!
Hello, Newbie here but got these few last week on a quick walk around a mates paddock http://i.imgur.com/nSNOOoR.jpg
Well done.
@mehtat the barrel on that looks epic long. But that was my first rifle. Love it.
Yeah its pretty long esp with the silencer on the end, The camera angle doesn't help much either ha.Quote:

Hey i could be a male with Fab nails you never know :). Yeah na i am a chick.
Nothing surprises me in the SI you guys are all related
Those legs looked feminine in my mind, though some guys do shave I guess.... Zooming in on the fingernails I see a ring so I'm guessing you dirty old barstools are out of luck.
Nice work mehtat
My special log is working again - a big buck came back for the funeral of the last one and brought a big rat with him - maybe he is cleaning up the blue stuff before he eats his apple:chop:

Shot over.
Been after two off these buggers for a few days now.
First night trap was set with a trout frame,trap rolled and it escaped.
Yesterdays hare was still warm when I cut a back leg off.
Attachment 66404
First attempt it knocked it over again and was eating the hare through the side of the cage,reset it and back an hour later with results.
Attachment 66406
Fresh leg in again tonight for the next bugger.
excellent evening walk after what seemed a looong week . . .
Attachment 66408
Walked my bum off for 3 rabbits and a plover! Took the long way home up the hill. Left my suppressor at home so POI was slightly affected, but @mikees Leupold is a delight, bought a sun shield for it.

Or do you guys mainly do a cage trap with a bit of stick or metal to hold up the door which gets knocked over?
