The stock was touching the barrel quite firm in a couple of places. Not any more. Longest shot was 160 pygmy steps, so a combination of what I did has worked. Got the love back.

@Dundee, I'm gonna have to borrow Bo. This muppet is frikkin useless. I keep trying to tell him, it only needs to be killed once.
That looks like a good dog.Quote:

More a case of tug-of-war, his sister is sitting in the background as she always refuses to have her photo taken, clearly she is smart and doesn’t want to leave any evidence of her crimes. The minute the dog picks up the hare the bitch is there grabbing the other end and it’s all on!Quote:

They came hooning in at the first sound of the distress call, I was mildly disappointed that of the six or seven birds that arrived, only three presented a shot, the others took a perch comfortably out of range. Unfortunately this means that some of them will have learned a lesson.
Just a reminder that I’m happy to send you these calls by Google Drive if you wish, just PM me your email address.

As is always the way, once you take out a pair from their territory, the floodgates open, with all the competing juveniles thinking it's a chance to set up shop. After I took out the pair in the pines on Tuesday night, yesterday it was mayhem, birds all over the place. But I was too busy to shoot them, but I took an hour off this morning to have a crack. Set up the UE Boom and played the calls... HEAPS... zooming in from all sides. There's three more hung up in the pines, one that made it to the neighbour's place (and has already been eaten by the hawk), and another that the dog caught after it unwisely landed in the paddock with a busted wing. So a dozen already today.
Have been doing some volunteer time on a local trapping program

I've been looking for the mesh to make some DOC200 boxes, as pictured above, but can't find any locally. Anyone got any ideas?

big fat hare with .223 3 stoats,3 hedgepigs and a rat in traps.
thats what the hare looked like today.
Funny story , I put a couple of headshot rabbits on a Facebook hunting group. A fellow tells me my pics are not welcome cause they are blood and guts and should be prepared for the uneducated hunters on the group..... For fuck sake cunt , its a hunting group !!!!!
You need to get one of those new calibres, you know the ones, they kill, gut and clean, all in one action.
Ludicrous, really.
Hunting usually involves blood, in one way or another.
i think a lot of those guys only hunting is on a playstation game or off the couch in a you tube clip
Yeah , he was an older chap too.
Told me I should prepare my picture to suit the audience , what that hell man ! ITS A HUNTING GROUP !
I called him a princess and posted a pic without the head blown off and asked " is this better princess " ?
Why should I have to edit or prepare my pics for a hunting group , it is what it fuckn is , a rabbit .. head shot and fucked up. !!
Sorry rant over !

Stalking into peacocks with a .22LR is hard work but very rewarding.

You must have shot at them a bit. I got close enough for 12 gauge range. But they're not been shot at until nowQuote:

Over the years this flock has become one of the hardest, wiliest quarries I’ve ever hunted - for a good while the only possible way to get onto them was 300-400 meter shots, as they just would not leave two specific paddocks with a bush block between them, and the boundary fence at the rear beyond which I was not permitted to shoot them. They have a perfect field of view and will start to move into cover at the sight of a walking human at the best part of 1km away. This one was with three other birds a good couple of hundred metres away from their normal cover, where the topography was in my favour - at this time of year they will have to forage further afield.Quote:
