I had a pet cat who caught hares bigger than him as well as seagulls and once a hawk, killed them never ate them, never underestimate a cats kill capabilities he also only ate the heads of eels and had no tail. he was one mean killing machine for a cat
Puts my moaning about rabbit diggings in the lawn to shame.Quote:

That said, I will be putting this one through the pizza oven door in a single piece at lunch time, and have it ready in time for dinner. The oven door definitely isn't big enough for your bad boy, so I win! :thumbsup:
Got 15 goats as well just to keep the freezer topped up.
River dirty so dusted off the ole faithful.

One bunny last night and a maggie this morningAttachment 86029

Eldest son was at home when I got back from work. All the family headed down to the property.
It was blowing worse than a hooker.I nailed the rabbit with the trusty ole Escort.
Dan Dundee pulled off two shots with the old 303.First shot went over the hares head but the quick second shot wripped its running gear out!

Just home from a good spotlighting session 5 hours on the hill. Had the kids out there they loved it [emoji3]
6 possums plucked

Also shot 2 bunnies, one of which had an awesome coat. The kids are pretty convinced it may have been the easter bunny [emoji41]

Saw two pigs which was a buzz. We weren't ready for those so they are sweet till next time. Really loving the maxtoch sniper especially on possums eyes. Can see them from miles away [emoji106] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7b3075c9ac.jpg
Good size coons @kukuwai, look like 12 per kg models. Neat involving the kids.
@Russian 22. I'm still keen on thisQuote:

Nice still Anzac day in Central, afternoon on the hill with oldest boy home from uni.
37 shot and I picked up two cats. First black one I have got, the 17 HMR sure has a taste for Moggy's, not to shabby on the Rabbits either.
So you got a running cat total ? How many is that in the last few weeks... bloody good on ya.Quote:

@flybown nice goat mate! Where in the country roughly ?please,
First time out for the young fella for a couple of months.
Naughty wind across the valley meant a 14 inch hold for wind at 160 yds.
He's been practising his trigger pull.

That’s not too shabby. Getting hard to get goats with horns that size theses days.Quote:

And of course in hard to access areas. that’s been my experience the past few years.
Fun afternoon with the kids and a mate and his two kids on a farm 15 mins from home. Bit of target shooting first, then a wander to see what we could find to hunt.
The 6 of us ended up putting a stalk on a mob of turkeys to get close for the kids. Got Max (mates 8 yr old) onto his first game animal. He pulled off a great shot at 80 yards with my 223. He smoked it!
Kids all enjoyed it and liked having a closeup look at the birds.
I nailed 2 more and another couple at 270 yards. Loving the model 7 223.
Way too much noise from the 3 younger ones tho to see any deer tonight.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ad26c1eb42.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...43f7879787.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b79f595d0c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4cb4dab0e3.jpg

Did you breast them? I kind of feel a bit bummed that I didn't do the one I shot.

Nah these were big old birds, would have picked off the younger ones if we wanted to eat them.Quote:
