good stuff i hate them.
Yep good work.
Arsehole birds they are! Pisses me off watching them harass the hawks up here. Monday will be back having a good go at the rest of them up here.
Sorry Dundee I cant bring myself to shoot them. Big fan of birds of prey. The old old bugger at work is often shooting at them, yet to hit one haha.
Cheers mate. Trynna get on top of the population but just when you think you got the last one a few more turn up. Its Happy days when your dad pays you for each one shot [emoji2] though. What a hansom chap your lab is. Looked a bit gutted that you were gonna take that rabbit off him haha.
Magpies, hawks and cats -
I spend a lot of time at our rural property providing native and game birds (pheasant and quail) with a safe haven to breed and prosper - I never shoot the game birds - just enjoy having them round and of course they move round the district
Last year a pair of resident magpies had a couple of chicks - I pinged one and left the three birds to manage the hawks
No doubt about it - the hawk is a bird predator - but they don’t get too close before the magpies hound them out of the valley with mid-air dog fights - it was a nice balance
Cats are a problem round holiday periods - we have a car layby/picnic area just up the road and quite close to a beach holiday area - one last stop before they get to the campground - let the cat out :pissed off:
There are few rats or mice round our place - so the cats kill birds - or enjoy a feed of Whiskas cat tucker in a cage
Cats are like rats and possums possummatti - you never get the last one - just keep trying :)

One for the Hawk Haters......
i suspect this will turn into a shit storm
After a couple weeks of dog biscuits only - the pooch was giving me dirty looks and clearly requesting fresh bunny. I had to oblige ... a quick night shoot delivered the goods with 8 bunnies and 12 possums.

That's a good haul
Had another good day today shot four recovered two. I managed to get the section 2ic as seen in the picture, lead scouts hung up in the old man pine. One on the left is from last week the hawks took his mate.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...006fa36ecb.jpg

Ye olde bone yard! Bowled the plover at about 100m with my BSA sportsman handed down to me by my father via his father who got it from his father.
