lot bigger than rabbits here. But yep my mistake. was it laying down? Might have gone right through on just the perfect angle. Or it was covering its head with its foot knowing the end was here. lol
Yea I think the later would be right, didnt have much time to watch, too busy getting the second mag in :thumbsup:Quote:

Mixed bag tonight. Turkey, possum and rabbit.
Possums sat well. One not retrieved 4-5 let go as couldnt access the drop point. Will have to slash a track at some stage.

No season as such. If for human consumption months with no 'r' in them. Basically winter.Quote:

Had an interesting evening last night.Neighbours wild hogs got out of there pig pen.When they approached I was on the quad with the Stirling .22.I told them I could help catch them with it. They said they didn't want them dead. So we were off on a live pig capture right on dark.Two dogs were let out one was bailed hog tied and duck tape around its snout. The other hog went thru another fence where the second dog bailed it and the other dog caught up with the comotion.The last hog was captured in the creek. I had the job of holding the dogs while the second hogs snout was duck taped and legs were tied. Once both hogs were captured and tied the dogs were brought back up to the track and placed in a trailer. I killed the electricity on the fences so the last hog could be carted back up to the second trailer,then they went back for the other hog and dragged his sorry arse back up to the track.
Geeze that was an adrenlined full evening,never done pig hunting but hell live capture is something......the squealing from the hogs once caught was unreal!!Attachment 205579

Are your neighbours breeding from them Dundee or are they just fattening for the pot? If breeding then they should at least give you half a litter for your troubles.
They keep them for training there pig dogs,those two that caught them were pretty darned fast and didn't want to let go.
Sorted for a few more months,can't get my remmy bucket of bullets so had to settle for winnie.

Rich guy eh:thumbsup: But it `s good for the hare, instant dead.
Don't worry that thought crossed my mind briefly but don't seem to be getting any deer on the deck lately so the hundred or so i have should see me through for quite some time.Quote:

Nice... Times we've gone out and shot 1000+ in an evening. Other times you take the rifle for a wee wander and pop just a handful. Either way its dam good fun.. :)
Spring shooting just about to start in Canterbury/ Tekapo for us - looking forward to it !!
