Smidy, I hear you have the Aussie kookaburra up there & are you allowed to bowl them? We have the sulphur crested cockatoo down here & manage to get the odd one with the 223 but because they're exceptionally wary it's difficult to get them with the 22. so was just wondering if more Aussies in NZ will be added to the target list for the 22 or 17. What range was the spurwing shot at?
really? the only kookaburra i've seen was my ridgeback cricket bat. never seen nor heard one but i'll keep my eyes and ears peeled. Sulphur cockatoos would be escaped pets wouldn't they?
we have a lot of the plovers in my area, so many they have even driven the magpies away so i plan to put some effort into changing that. The pictured plover was at about 250m, got another at 100 and would have had a few more but when i shot the one at 100m the group of about 50 moved about 50m up the hill onto the ridge so i wasn't keen to send the pill their way.
Had Kookaburras at the farm quite a lot, unmistakable laughing cackle they make. Not sure if you're allowed to bowl them, never thought of it.
Knocked over plenty of plovers though, from much closer than 250m.
Dropped 6 magpies this afternoon , after sighting in the hornet with the Bushy 3-12x44mm , on her , compared to by kills with the 22lr at 110-198yds thats subsonic to start with , the Hornet shoots like a bloody Laser , at 130yds its only 1 click , 0.1mils , and 200yds its 0.55mils .
And it hits them hard , 40gr vmax at 3000fps , with the can you can hear the thump of the bullet hitting them ,
Now just have to drop some bunnies & hares for the pot .
Good work
