Took the wife and kids out for a late afternoon of Hare destruction with the 22-250 and 17Hornet to celebrate daylight saving. Threw the bbq in for a hot snag after the work was done and the sun was setting. Busy morning boning out and vac packing.

Great haul, what was the average distance you were nailing them at?
1 hare six possums last night then came across 5 of these, only had the 10/22 but managed 3 out of the 5
Attachment 206749
Last shot of the day 383 yards
Attachment 206808
1st 50 shots of the day practice with the Quad at 100yards
Attachment 206809
@GdaRock varied from 30m to 220m.
Took Bo and Ace for a run up the track after work,sighted three hares never got a shot..Back home locked them up and went solo to the run off.Sighted one at 200 yards but it ducked for cover.Rode the quad around to where I saw it hide.Spotted it sitting in the grass,couldn't tell where it was facing head or ass on.Let the .22 do the buis an blew the back end.Finished with a tidy head shot.Reason only one leg and two back straps on the plate.

Going to feed the giant eel under the bridge with the left overs tomorrow.
What range did you get the cones at :D
Getting more cones than hares this year,was averaging one or two a day last spring. Just running the dogs and no spotlighting.Quote:

Sorted.
Attachment 206946
3 sparrows, two starlings,a finch,couple of yellow hammers, and one of those god awful introduced black birds that fly off making a hell of a racket putting everything on alert. Much to my suprise a new respect for small bird air rifle shooters. Its a bit of a skill shooting small birds through branches and little gaps at angles they arnt prone to sitting still. Definitly something ill do more often as I walk the farm.
Doing my bit for the neighborhood.
Those of you who can count will notice two empty shells for three pieces of rubbish cleaned up.
Would be four for two, but the third Rosella I hit managed to fly into the bush for a 'rest'

Awesome. What's the rifle? How loud is it compared to a .22lr sub?
? What cal and are you using slugs
It is a FX Impact M3 at the moment shooting JSB 18.13gr diablo pellets. Will soon be tuning for Spyda slugs. As quiet if not quieter than 22lr subs.

Just a small sample pack.

yep and knocking of wild cats is one purpose I've set for myself. I'm neither young nor stupid.
I appesiate cats as hunters and its the same reason I shoot them.
I'd rather native than an introduced species that kills them.
Still they are an awesome animal and have my respect as hunters for sure.
1st for the evening

5 hoppers yesterday

Youngest boy wouldn’t let me take a pic of him as he didn’t shoot a rabbit just wasn’t his day

This bugger at 35m
Tx200, 16gr AA field deablo
totally open field, back wind.
very slow stalk to get to range, with me cheap gillie suit, but it works.
Chased it's mate around for a bit, but a misjudged shot, a missed running shot and a long shot that just whizzed by its head (bad wind calculation on my behalf) and I wasn't getting near it again. Also a starling and yellow hammer.
Still I eat, dogs ate, cat got heart, cat traps got Rebaited, hawks get innards.
nice middle of the day walk.
Attachment 208291
Good work mate
cheers. eaten it to. rub with salt, and pepper, sear in pan, then bake. Delicious. ( I've never let my small game hang to set the meat)
Hopefully we can get out for a shoot one day Billbob.
If your over this coast and island one day shout out.
.22 at it again....stretched too the limits.
Attachment 208332
