I use a cage trap with cheap fish tied in a piece of stocking tied to the trigger
Thanks to a couple good buggers on here with help. Got my Marlin 25N with a Vortex 4-16 mounted. Longest shot so far 180m a few from 70-150m just need to get better at reading the wind and knowing the drift.

@223nut its a MAE just a line they seem to put in it. Single piece.
Sure was. Just the back legs will easily feed 4 of us. Still got the back steaks in the fridge.

the VarTarg will be having some down time when a heavy barrel 204 arrives in the next few days . . . it'll be interestiing to see the performance difference a smaller lighter bullet with an extra 1000fps
35-40 rabbits tonight with the thermal on 10/22. Few jams and feeding issues, but good to get out for a shoot again all the same..
I would be keen to hear how you get on @Russian22. I have watched them working on foxes etc, I don't see why they wouldn't work on cats, ferrets etc. I have often thought about getting one also. Let me know how you get on.
Good stuff! Whip its tail off.

had a few flooded out traps - and a couple that had been moved a few metes by surface water also.
The tails in the freezer :)
I took my old single shot voere for a walk today. I only take it when I'm not really expecting to see much cause I cant hit diddly squat with it - not the guns fault, I'm just not so great with the iron sights. I got a couple of shots off at bunnies but no hits, so I decided to check how it was sighted. Found it was shooting a bit to the right, found a cow bone and used it to drift the sight a bit and bingo! got one!

Its a bit of a franken gun, it must have had its stock damaged and been refitted with a bsa stock with mag well. It did not fit very well when I got it so I filled it up with panelbeaters bog and fitted pillars and a second mounting screw, bedded it, and made a new extractor as it was missing. Its super lightweight and quite cool, but the irons are difficult to use. I wouldn't mind finding a small low magnification scope to build a mount for, but that will have to wait.

@buzzman took the 223 out this pm, after playing round on the range with it, whacked on a Hardies gen v suppressor and a Nikon 3-9 P223 scope. Got 6 rabbits at an average of 100 metres, a hare at 50 metres and a ginger mick at 215 metres. All good with a mixture of Outback and Belmont ammo, 55 grain projectiles
First rabbit 50 metres

Three hunts this weekend, weather was rubbish each morning and by 1 pm mint, 72 shot. Today I left "Ping Pong " at home ( Norinco ) and took "FeFe" the dirty French Assassin out for a dirty cheap date .
Stunning evening, the Unique rocking some of Central's finest , photo doesn't show how big they are, I don't know if it's a condition thing before winter. Best shot 127 mtrs ranged.Attachment 67307
What scope is that @viper
Hey Russian. Rifle brand is called a Unique, not made any more, very accurate and reliable. They are semi hand built and hard to find now, a few of the boyz on here have them also.
Awesome balance and lovely to use.
first walk with the .204 singleshot varmint rifle this morning . . . a quick sight in at 100yds then into it with some 40s & 32grn. loads
Attachment 67354
later n the day changed over to the Remington - 9 hours of total enjoyment - outstanding

Yesterday I took the HMR back to a place I haven't shot since October last year and boy was that some fun for the afternoon! Longest shots were @ 143m and 137m!! Was super happy with with the arvo's work

rabbit stew for the next 2 weeks by the look of it well done mate hope you were happy with the Ruger 1
first impressions of the Ruger No.1 are very positive, i always wanted one - they're an iconic american rifle & and to my eye an attractive rifle, especially the varmint model . . . looking forward to spending more time behind the trigger and loading/shooting the .204 cartridge
only problem for the Ruger is i will always end up comparing it to the VarTarg . . that rifle is a ferkn machine so its got a hard job to shine in such company
You Guys have reminded me to get the Unique out for a walk tomorrow - just about to send the Savage hmr to Queenstown - hope he can lug it around better than I could - who needs a bull barrel anyway?
I like to give possums a leg up into a Timms - they seem to like a ramp
