Just got back from the Ruahine Ranges bloody wet up there again.
Decided to take the dog and big rifle up the track before locking the big cal up as it was better weather down here on the lowland.

You did a mint job of headskinning the rabbit GWH as rabbit skins are thinner than paper.
LOL, i didnt have to touch the head mate, the 20gr Zmax at 3750 fps did that bit for me mate ;-)Quote:

Good stuff.
Those are some big rabbit holes. Looks like one rabbit had a splitting head ache.
Bloody Wombats:O_O:
Yeah mate, almost lost the lad down one of the larger holes, thought I was going to have to call out the cave rescue team.Quote:

May the little buggers can make a mess in a couple of nights :omg:
Bloody good work, at that age the litters still behave like a group and you can get a good number as they come back to see what there mates are doing "break dancing". Little noses like that just skim the surface and root up a ton on ground in very short order.
Here are a few more, the old heading dog loves this and will herd breakers back towards me. Hes getting on now but gets a new lease of life when i pick up the rifle and say pigging.
and look what we came across last night possum shooting Attachment 116454
Spotted this hare at 65 yards.
Attachment 116457
Lined it up on the post with the .22 Stirling and knocked it over.

Sent Bo down for the retrieve and hes got it.
