Fingers crossed on being able to shoot there with the new owner, sucks to lose a property...:thumbsup:
Bit of tasty Hare and Rabbit to eat now....

Not much posting as I have being doing a lot of shooting, young fella down from Tauranga for Christmas and we have shot 634 rabbits in to weeks including 2 wild pigs with the .22s using sub sonic ammo.
A very cool father / son moment and a table fill of wild pork.
Here's a nice ginger , i have also shot 3 black rabbits lately as well. Attachment 80310
That's pretty impressive 634...Quote:

Missed with the first Shot, but the second .22 round found it's Mark.
Decided to work off some of the xmas food with a walk over a friends farm (that I havent visited in some time). Also the first time using red dot in the field. Total tally was 2 rabbits, 3 hares and 4 possums. Due to no magnification a couple of possums got away while I was confirming they wernt Moreporks (they were on 2 occasions).Attachment 80489Attachment 80490

Opportunity knocked, so I answered the door. Turned out to be a skinny sow. Processed it into thirds and will try out the pizza oven in slow cook mode.

First for 2018 :cool:
Last shoot on the farm with this owner, sold it! Fitting end, after taking 100s of rabbits and Hares off it over the past few years I saw zilch of anything on Saturday. Regular hunting has certainly changed pest numbers, with a few cats, magpies, ducks and plovers along the way. Took my 204 for the tramp, manger a few pine cones at 200 metres, great little cartridge.Attachment 81295Attachment 81296Attachment 81297Attachment 81298
And later, back at the Lake, awesome evening, lake very warm and mill pondAttachment 81299Attachment 81300
How much meat do you get off a pine cone?

Well was he right, I got all these from 3.30-5.00pm just walking one small section of the farm. Only reason I stopped was I only had one box of ammo!!

Looking forward to getting out again this weekend:D
On another note I recently got hold of a 204 ruger and what a destructive little round this is!! The 2x bunnies were @ 175m and 184m and the single was 132m. The close one left a hole that size out the other side as well!!
Attachment 81440Attachment 81441
Best bit is I don't have to dial until 220m:cool:
Epic!! Mmmm the smell of bunny guts
Not the smartest bunny in the world. Sat about 50 yards away completely oblivious to our presence. Son tried a tricky shot down hill from prone that did not connect. Lucky dad was ready with the follow up shot off hand. 55gm Fiocche .223 did the job and saved much of the gutting ;-) Good out come after loosing a nanny earlier in the evening. Hit her at 200 yards watched her drop. Had to climb a steep bluff to recover only for her to stand up and run off when we got to her. Tracked the blood trail for nearly a kilometer before she made it to a cliff we could not scale. Serves me right for not taking the rifle for the recovery climb!Attachment 81463
things ya do to take a shot . .lying on a bunch of thistles shooting thru a fence struck me as humorous afterwards, not so much at the time . .
Attachment 81466
not a tough shot ( 285yds ) but memorable
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9f007a1896.jpgwin 94 trapper 30-30, 71yards. @Sarvo
early start on the hill this morning with the .17hmr Quad
Attachment 81604
back to the motor later for a coffee & changed over to the .204R to catch a few more who thought they were safely out of range
Attachment 81605
cheers @berg243 the No.1 is a good look rifle alright and very cool to use.
i like the idea of single shots, even my bolt action varmint rifles have singleshot adapters fitted.
R.
I might have to take you for a walk
They're pretty damn special alright, mine is exactly the same, love this little .204Quote:

That's some good shooting.
cheers @Nibblet . . . . near perfect conditions, very slight breeze coming from the left then swinging around and coming back from the right so no wind allowance given
stoked . . . wanted to break the 500yrd barrier this year, came a bit earlier than expected, so all smiles
R.
Any condition in that area are perfect. Sone beautiful areas you have access to.Quote:

your dead right there Nibblet, i try to look at my surroundings always with fresh eyes . . . for varmint shooting the place cannot be beaten, high animal numbers on big properties 10-15 minutes from home and farmers are keen to have shooters, some even supply ammo, i know i am lucky.
there is a down side . . . my gun gabinet is now bulging, i have brought 3 new varmint riflkes in the last 18 months, i am always looking at newer better scopes, don't mention how much ammo i go thru, this addiction is costing me some serious coin.
Ah first world problems.Quote:
