Around 40 long(ish)range bunnies between 3 of us today. Most around 140-240, longest for me at 310. :)
Cheers Headcase and Wirehunt, awesome fun!
Wallabies?
Just the bunnies yesterday. There was a chance of wallabies and plenty of sign down in the riverbed, but none to be seen.
I is amazing how much incredibly fresh sign you can see but not what made it.
Seen three hares on my rounds retrieved one. Attachment 13315
About 80mtres with .22 subs
2nd one I heard the hit but it went over a ridge will try and find it in the morn with the dogs.
3rd one was in my sights but ran towards the skyline on a hill so let it go as it wasn't safe.
Good on you for not taking that third shot Dundee. That is a great lesson for the boys.
Blowing a gale tonight doing my rounds,saw a coon that scarpered deep into the pine hedge. Quick glimpse of a rabbit as it bolted across the track another 3 hares spotted only one hit the deck. Will be freezing some back legs tomorrow.

Well done Dundee. Did you and the dog find the other hare?
Got another hare this morning at the same place where Sean shot his,must of been the boyfriend:PAttachment 13374
They can chill out together again.
Attachment 13381
One for the 243
Attachment 13382
Number two
Iv been chasing this one for a while
He gone!
Just out of interest (been doing some Postal shoot practice and suck to be honest), what position are you guys shooting these buggers from?
on was off my knees with my ass on the wet ground (my favorite quick position) not that kind of position, even tho there was pussy involved.....
the second was free standing
Im just using this as practice to get better with my new super dooper ultra featherweight rifle
I'll normally shoot freehand out to 50m, then sit behind tall bipod or over top of fence post for out to 110m. Other than that just brace off a tree, vehicle, window, whatever. Sometimes kneel or off knees.
Most of the hares are shot from the quad Dougie. Well done Bill two pussy kills and not much damage from the .243 .
I take tastefull angled photos mate nobody wants to see a messed up pussy with bits hanging out of it
My bazooka needs sighting in:oh noes: Never hit a bloody thing tonight:pissed off:
Nearly all shots off hand or as GM off whatever rest is avail. I also am a snap shooter, I hate to take time over a shot, probably cause most of my life's shooting has been possum,hare,rabbits, cats you don't get a lot of time, it becomes a little instinctive.
the purpose of me taking the 243 out instead of the 22 is so I get better at the off hand shots
Got my boomstick sorted nabbed a hare in the neck:)
Attachment 13440
The boomstick didn't really nead any adjustments as it was the gale force wind last night:ORLY:
On the way out of the paddock where I were chasing hares I noticed a black thing above me as I shut the gates.
Attachment 13442
Didn't have my lights on at the time but it was Mrs Possy doing the telephone call.:D
She maneuvered between the two poles with her tail and legs like .................a fekin possum
Attachment 13443
Anyway once a clean shot was available with no spikey friggen tree underneath I let her have it once she walked the tight rope once again.:D
Plucked her where she dropped at the gateway under the cables she was swinging off and phone lines are still ringing:yuush:
Attachment 13446:D Bloody circus coming to an end:D
Attachment 13447
That will teach the Aussie clown,line dancing across telephone cables:yuush:
Get home to hang the hare up on the line when a panther arrives:ORLY:
Attachment 13448
Anyway told him to "feck of we eating the hare you eat the Aussie you pussie!"
Very funny dundee.
big clean up last night. Mid thirties in rabbits 5 hares and about 15 possoms
thumbs still sore from all that plucking
I find it faster to skin the bunnys and hares. Its not so hard on your thumb either.:D

surprisingly easy to pluck a hare, and its a very possom fir like product
I wonder if anyone has tryed passing it off as fir, and if it is a usefull product. IE if is is hollow core
then we may well have a new industry on our hands
Oh and my favorite 4 cats.
gotta love it when dads paying for the bullets
Good haul there Bill. I'm itching for the ground to dry out and lambing/tailing to be finished so we can get back onto properties.
That torch of yours GM was bloody awesome mounted on my shotgun
You sure you don't wanna sell it?
Quite sure.
Managed another two hares tonight squeezing thru a boundary fence that has just been refenced was a bloody effort,took one coat of to squeeze thru the wires head first. Just got thru then my big fukin gonads now that was a tight squeeze:D:ORLY:
Back to the retrieval:roll: This was a head shot but notice the wound on the back leg...might of been hit before
Attachment 13488
