Awesome well done @viper - amazing how big and heavy they can get ah. I personally can't wait until some rules are put in place surrounding cats in this country. There are shit loads of feral ones out there!!

Any calibre is a "good year" to kill the ferals

That looks like splat the flat cat.
Mates down from the NI, bullets flying and rabbits getting hammered.
Just a quick post of one with really nice markings, 17HMR strikes again along with a cat at 174 yrds.... Attachment 70579
Still working out the 17, sometimes nothing inside 150 mtrs is safe other times everything from 10 - 200 yrds is safe as... it's a funny little calibre.
i think some times @viper its so easy to get hits with the .17 that you relax and expect a hit forgetting good techneque, the closer it is the worse it gets . . . like pool when the black is all lined up to go down . . and ya fck it up.
after using the .17 for a few years i know its my fault if i miss . . still happens
I just love country golf ... ended up shooting 22 over par!

Couple of super blurry phone photos, taken through the thermal scope in a hurry. Actual use is obviously significantly clearer, can see all the details on the tussocks etc, watch the rabbit flick its ears around even..
If you look at the 'picture in picture' at the top of the first photo, you can see how the head is much hotter than the rest of the rabbit.

Long time since I've pulled a trigger on anything. Couldn't stand being stuck in the house all weekend, so last minute decision to have a go at the rabbits. In short, one big hare and three rabbits. All at around 50 metres with 22LR on shooting sticks. I was happy with that. Then missed the next two which were closer! Always seems to go like that for me. Anyway, two rabbits for the farmers dog, and a rabbit and a hare for my crock pot. Sorry, no photos. Too dark and muddy to piss around with a camera.
