Lets say it's quite lively and needs a firm hand. The limb saver helps too. Took two reds at 300m yesterday morning and it takes no prisoners.

We had just set off and this fella ran out in front of me, ran 150yds and then ducked down in a hollow. I was in the truck on my own at the time so I had to jump in the passenger seat load the rifle and while holding the lamp shoot him out of the window. He was bobbing around a bit trying to make out if I was friend or foe and couldn't get a clear chest shot so popped one in his neck, he didn't even twitch.
Good on you Hawkfish

While sitting in ambush a pigeon lands 30 yards in front of us, My mate obviously couldn't resist the temptation and shot it with his 223. The bit you can see in the distance is the other wing and the rest of it.
Golf course?
Is it missing a leg?

what cal are you using?
Just the old Howa 1500 .223.
Well done on the bunnies Jack.
Cheers Rushy, they were fat as mud. Should've eaten them but needed dog tucker.
Reckon I'll smack some in the next couple of weeks and try @Angus_A 's rabbit and pork pie
I hope you don't mind but I passed it on to another Aussie wanting to do something different with rabbits, havent heard how they went yet.
All good man :)
Another nice Morning in the office ;)Attachment 17247

Good stuff. Barstard Maggies
We've got a plague of them atm.
And the ones that are left are bloody wily ... Good stalking practice though :thumbsup:

They have made themselves established in the nelson region over the last ten years too.
Dunno how widespread they were but I remember shooting plenty of them on granddads orchard in Kina in the late 70's and 80's
