No when we have the briefing at the start of the day it’s quite normal for that call to be made as there are beaters and dogs in front. So no ground game no low birds is quite a normal call. As I said though I was at the end of the line and had a clear view of my firing zone and target. If he wasn’t wounded and missing that front leg I’d have let him go. Also the land owner was in line of sight and gave me the okay before I shot him. @wsm junkie
Safety first!
On the way to the river tonight I took the mighty .22 as a passenger:D
Rabbits were dumb and will be a feed!

2 quick headshots last night out the ute window. The mighty JW15 never lets me down. This was far from the task at hand so left it at the 2, Was plenty running about, so il hopefully get out another night.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...52add49968.jpg

@GWH best to ask @Philipo or @Rich007 as I'm the 3rd owner and have only had to add the scope and rings. I better get started on this learning to reload caper as I brought 5 boxes of ammo today and the wife was right beside me when I paid 250 knickers. Gulp. If I don't it might end up being a safe queen:(
It wasn't shortened by me, Phil might know?
When you are ready to start reloading for the .17 hornet, have a read of this: Reloading the .17 Hornet - Sporting Shooter
I got a really good load for my Anschutz using 'lil gun'
I believe lilgun can be a bit finicky with pressure spiking.
CFEBLK goes pretty well in mine.
Pistol primers and Aliant 300MP... you can thank me later..
New market garden to try out last night. They close off the gates at COB, and it's a fair old walk, but it looks promising.
Only there for 5 minutes checking out how to get into the place, and shot these from the gate. Looking at the amount of rabbit crap everywhere, I suspect this will keep me amused for a wee while.

@Rich007 got a pic of that new rig?
Always take rod and rifle when I head off to the river for a fish. Fish weren't biting but bunnies were hopping.

An unsuccessful rabbit hunt for me tonight. I did have an opportunity for a hare at 82m, but haven't shot anything for a while, so thought I'd get closer and off he went. Later on, I shot a magpie at 90 metres. The furthest I've shot anything with 22LR. Should have taken the shot at the hare!

First hare I've shot for awhile usually just leave them alone but this one was out eating few days old plantain seedlings. Headshoted at 140 meters.

Out for a evening stalk of a small orchard this evening with my son....6 nice young rabbits for the pot and a couple of big cunning buggers eluded us.

This evenings walk around edges of some Otago vineyards. 11 misses, 4 unconfirmed kills, 18 confirmed kills. Not a fantastic shots to kill ratio but I'm slowly improving.

Got my first ever black one
First shot was this hare 87m with the .22 subs best shot for me with subs so far

Chilled the backsteaks in the fridge and fried them up. Bloody beautiful. The hare was more tender then any restaraunt steak I've ever had. Good to get some wild meat since my venison supply has run out for now :faill:
Few rabbits after a light shower of rain the other night.60 second quad ride from the house and came home with 5.Attachment 126012Attachment 126013
This is the second time my son and I did this little block started yesterday and finished a few hours ago..Lost count of the rabbits not that there was a large number something like twenty but the exact I couldn't tell you. Four possums couple of cats.
Had ammo issues this morning and may post else where on it.
The auto and the bolt played up. Which cost a third cat and fifth possum.
Still they aren't going far really !we will catch up again for old times sake and finish what we started.:thumbsup:
A good post has pictures said a postman to me !it's pkart of the authentication! I think he was having a go at the bragging Target shooters with no evidence of their great feats.
And picture had it own way of saying its dead or that's .5 .:)
Had finished the post and had made a coffee and a salt and pepper sandwich and sitting by the fire and it begins to rain, wasn't that good timing I thought and why there was good activity feeding before the change.
