went for a walk with my grandad on wednsday night and managed to get 4 rabbits for our little walk
good stuff huck
Attachment 6652 got a rabbit tonight with the air rifle
Another 12 tonight for me. Sitting in long grass at edge of the field, shooting them coming into the farmers garden.
They weren't very little... but we knocked over 4 stinkies today :thumbsup:
1-from-1 for me, neck shot at 240y on a solid billy. Could have pushed the range a little further, but was wanting to see how the new 40gr pills perform on goats before I stretch the distance. Results were.. convincing. Straight down on the spot and dead within seconds. Very happy. :)
smacked another hare this arvo with the dogs be a while till we can help Game plan out at this rate anyway.
3.5kg and bolt had it for dinner
Two Aussies today

So now you know how too catch the buggers get too it!!!!:D
Need to draw us some plans pics don't show us how to build one
Dundee, have you taken out a patent on that trap? It looks as though you could market it to the world.
Id say they would be slightly upset after spending a few hours in that trap
:thumbsup:
Dundee I should have taken some pics of all the maggies I shot in Chch! Did you like my starling shot though? Took the top off his melon :D
Scared the crap outta' a few but it started getting expensive. Rumour has it that a few Canada geese may have gone to heaven though.....
Hope those geese were head shots!!!
They should of been if they were 100 metres away:ORLY:
1 plover and one magpie decoy they will flock in now:D

I missed 2 mynas then sat down wondering why and then it hit me. I just changed the mounts on the gun and never checked its sight. Well shes on the dot now so those little shits better watch out.
Yep plenty Aussies going goodbye:DAttachment 6934
Yeah slaughter them they horrible bloody things,they used to dive bomb u on quad and the poor old work dog.
.22 away now its parrie season the shotgun joins me open trap maggie flys away and BANG
Attachment 6944
do you keep a live magpie near by to attract others into the the area?
Thats how it works;)
Got one with the 22 last night. I was out shooting bunnies in farm garden, and in swoops a couple of maggies. First one to pop it's head out of the tree got the works. 5 bunnies went to sleep too :)
Had a fail tonight back from the parrie hunt that was all good.Go and check trap myself and PT and I two shottys 2 shots one free magpie:pissed off:
At what distance? You can shoot the nuts off a gnat at 100 yards with a 22 but mis a maggie with a shotty. That doesn't compute Dundee unless it was out of range.
It was dark Rushy and the magpie didn't fly down the headlight beam:pissed off:
But daylight helps one for Jess to retrieve:D
