Out in North Canterbury last night with @
2gnscib and another good mate to deal to a few hares with the possibility of a pig or goat. We managed to deal to 30 odd rodents, mainly hares. Not sure what the story is but I missed a couple of shots at an easy magpie but somehow missed ending up just removing a few tail feathers so still not got one of those yet. Seems to be my nemesis species.
Not impressed with the performance of the Speer 55gr soft points. Even the Texas heart shots ended up in an exploded hare. Got up to the gut/chest area and the whole thong just exploded. Side on shots to the chest just about tore them in half, though not as bad as the V-Max the other mate was using which did end up with the hare in two halves on a couple of occasions. I'll be going back to the Hornady soft points. No meat in the fridge.
