I like the picture with the JW and the six victims that fell to it. Pure art!
That meat looks hare-raising delicious! :D

Hare and venison are on the same level
Rabbit and goat is next level if you get what I mean
Hare and venison was for royalty
Rabbit was for the common man or serf/peasant.::

Good (long) weekend hunting rabbits with my two brothers. 833 rabbits, 1 cat, 3 ferrets, and 3 rats from the woolshed we were staying in.
Was a bit of a laugh sitting in the easy chair watching the rats come out to the rat traps. This little bugger got one both ends as he flailed around.

I haven't posted much on here as it's just more and more pictures of rabbits, 49 shot this evenings and just under 400 since the start of the year.
Big numbers and no sign of slowing down.
I spoke to a professional shooter two weeks back who was using thermal and he shot 1360 odd in one night and reckoned that was out of one large gully and he still had the rest of the farm still to go.
The T1x 17hmr cleaned out a few more pests from the berry orchard last night.
I've shot a lot of rabbits off this one little property in the last couple of months. Not many left now.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bb87949242.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...32d8c09b07.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5670bcae16.jpg

Took the daughter out for her first hunt whilst I was doing a little local pest control and smashed a few pigeons for a farmer, have to admit it was bloody good to have a gate opener/cheer squad :thumbsup:
@viper I really have to get a few more packets of shotty and 22 ammo and take the lad down there for a go.
prefer to find something a little closer though lol
@viper, where is this rabbit utopia you speak of?
@charliehorse....central Otago my friend, when I get a chance I will try to take some photo's of the country side I hunt and groups of rabbits.
You North Island guys may find it interesting.
Mate I'll be jizzing in my pants
Blooded the 17hmr tonight :thumbsup:

another 48 shot this evening just off the farms driveway along with another southern moggy.
Farmer had noticed a ferret or two around the house, so far he has got 27 in three days :omg:

So did we decide goats are varmints or not? Can't remember.

Excellent shooting and judging conditions 6mm something i guess but i could be totally wrong.
Unsure about the varmints question - they're definitely wee pesties though! And luckily they're delicious when prepared right!
Shot my first goat for many years (first on the mainland too) a month or so back. My partner turned it into the best curry I've had in ages 🙂
A few bunnys with my son this evening.
60gr vmax certainly lets you know you have hit them!

Just about sorted with a subsonic load. Still a little more noise than I want but it's doing the business.
Took the lad out for a walk about last night after work and managed to knock over 9 turkeys and 3 hares. One hare @ 90m and one turkey @40m fell to the deadly accurate Zbroia Kozak PCP, one hare to the .223 by the boy at about 120m and the other 8 turkeys a hare to the 12ga. Most enjoyable was that the 12ga took out 7 of the young turkeys in only 3 shots!

Love it @Mintie, two guys, three different types of gun, heaps of pests. What's not to like?!
52 bunnies in 2.5 hours this evening near Christchurch - nice wee shoot.
90 year old side by side shottie did alot of damage and gadgetman's 22WMR nailed plenty. Good fun :)
Daughter and I sorted out another 8 bunnies tonight. I’ve been wanting a black bunny for awhile now and ticked that off the list too.

The useless bugger that I am sometimes I left the bipod behind. Out in the outlaws shed with a bit of kindling and a screw had that sorted, Aimee shot 3 of the bunnies with a less than ideal rest with 4 shots.

Found a farm not running rabbit poison, so a quick mission to get some for the pot.

Took the boy out for a rabbit hunt today. Wasn't sure what to expect due to the drought and wondered if the rabbits would be out. In short, we walked a couple of kilometres and didn't see anything apart from some unusually spooky turkeys. When we got back to the car, I was putting the gear away and a rabbit appeared. I shot it in the neck to save the day!

Double in the DOC 150 trap. Normally when one side goes off the other does too, so this is not too common.

There were 2 hares sitting on my rifle range this morning around the 50m mark.
I snuck in and pulled out the rifle at the front of the safe and shot one off hand with a clean middle chest shot.
Rifle was at the frontbecause only yesterday I had borrowed it from a friend and mounted the scope and zeroed it.
Winchester 1885 high wall Wonder musket.
.22 rim fire
Barrel sleeved by Din Comings in 2012 as marked.
Early Unertl 8x scope
Shoots about 20mm at 50m with Winchester suns
Minute of barn door with the only high velocity ammo I have.
A work in progress to see what it likes to be feed.

Winder musket!
But might turn out to be Wonder musket
i had a family member down for the weekend who was keen to experience Central Otago rabbit shooting so got him out.
Let him us my 10 /22 while I went old school cool, 146 shot in 2.5 hrs. He couldn't stop grinning at the end, great day on the hill together.Attachment 132348
