Another one for the old gun and ammo shot at 35 meters
a few pics of the property i gained access to this week . . . a few paddocks at the front and then scrub, tracks all over the place and more scrubby hillside at the back, thousands of acres in total
mostly shooting standing up close with sadly only a couple of longer shots for the 50 shot . . . won't be taking this rifle back there, something a bit handier
Attachment 76909
one of the many tracks thru the place . . .
Attachment 76911
30+ Goats seen . . . no pics of the Fallow seen, 1 at 25yrds the other 10 up in the hills
Attachment 76912
the funny part is i was told the farmer is not into shooters on the place which i believed going by the NO SHOOTING signs at the gate and all along the road . . . thought i would ask anyway, was surprised with the ' go for it " probably didnt do any harm having my partner along a local girl . . . moral of the story is give it a go ya never know
interesting looking place, some good hills in the background.Quote:

Did you get permission from Dale or Craig? Got permission to shoot there a couple of years ago but never really took it up, kicking myself for not getting around and doing a few evenings there. You might find the operator 'up the hill' is working till near 7 during height of summer.
Overcast afternoon but very still, plenty about. 45 shot with 23 being nailed without moving.
@ Rossi.45, just to show you I am doing my bit on the other end of the gorge:thumbsup:

Something different for you
Just got back from 9 days hunting squirrels in Illinois
Attachment 77102
40+ shot this evening with subs
Attachment 77111
got further down the farm this evening where its more open so a few longer shots to be had, pity about the wind tho . . .
keep up the good work @viper . . . if we shoot a few million more we might get on top of it.
hope those are all greys!Quote:

I was off to the gym but the day was perfect in central, rather be pulling the trigger than pushing the weights tonight.
Shot this version, would have to be one of the coolest looking rabbits I have shot. Not Ginger and not Albino, somewhere in the middle, eyes were quite red / pink in the sun.
Nearly didn't shoot it as it looked awesome in the paddock.
36 shot.Attachment 77270Attachment 77271
theres only one thing better than shooting . . .
more shooting
Couple of very small "Varmints" shot by the lad. 140 Yds with a very strong wind from the 9. Great for him to learn to hold for wind and he smacked em nicely. First one in the shoulder, second one in the ear and out he neck. Thanks to @Sasquatch and @Maca49 for the accurate rigs! Taken from a ridge behind him in the second photo.

3 hares and a rabbit sat evening the sidekick didn't make this time after an afternoon at the river chasing whitebait and his mates about, the new can made a noticeable difference but still not "quiet" I suppose due to me choosing wmr quiet enough though.Attachment 77457

Went to the outlaws for tea last night. Before tea my daughter and I shot two hares and two bunnies.
Attachment 77717
She wasn’t to sure about picking up the first one.
Attachment 77718
But rolled up her sleeves and was into it on the second, after I said stop being a girl ;)
Quick ride after work got some ingredients for a pie.
Attachment 77819
Shot 3 possums at my girlfriend's aunts place and 1 at each of their neighbours. 5 in total. I must have shot most of them out as I got 16 the first time I was there. No pics as I forgot.
Might ask the next door farmer if he would mind if I shot any rabbits.

Then 5 rabbits this afternoon/evening, off another neighbour's place. She's closing in on 90, and the holes they're digging on her back lawn around the clothesline are a real hazard for her. These ones are super flighty, so have to put maximum stalking effort into them.
First possum with the hmr. Hmr vs face. The skull is smashed to bits on the top as you can see from the distortion of shape.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...489e5fc80f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...28af74b083.jpg

Had a nice evening last night on the underground chickens with the K hornet.
Fired 8 shots for 7 bunnies. Tried for one at 285yrds and missed.
Using some 40gr Blitzkings that I got with the rifle. Good little bullet on rabbits and hares within 250 and light conditions. Body shots are generally a waste of time tho, too much damage.
Seen 4 reds (yearlings) when I was out and about but didn't bring my heavier bullets and wasn't keen to try and tip one over with the little Sierras.
Was cleaning the rabbits up today and as I was peeling the skin off one and I found a perfectly intact 22 projectile between the skin and ribs. No bruising so it has been there a while. Didn't appear to damage any flesh.
Bullet in pic is exactly as I found it. There was a crease where it sat and the rabbit appeared to have suffered no ill effects and was in good condition. So much for lead poisoning [emoji16]

It's the place on public land where you can shoot shotguns and 22's.Quote:
