Reckon you'd need a fair few of those for a feed.
Hors d'oeuvres... :)
Tastes just like rabbit to me! I'd probably need 3-4 of them to get the same amount of meat as I would off one rabbit but these guys are really active on warm days in the winter so they're easy to hunt if you have a good spot. Still working on that minor detail...
These guys have long tails, probably as long as their body. The short-tailed tree rats are chipmunks which are about the same size but much rarer and there's no season on em.
Friends have told me the damage porcupine quills can do to a dog...sounds dreadful.
"So not worth it..."

Ouch! I bet that dog never went back there again.
A bit grim but we were testing the 22-250 to see what the different loads would do on head shots.
The Decapitated one is the 45 gr jhp Winchester
The Empty face is 55 gr V-Max Hornady both shot at 100 yds.

Holy Fark Slimy!!! No need to bleed out those goats.
That is certainly significant damage.
Yeah.... Sounded really solid. Was incredible.... Like the look of the nosler 55 tipped stuff BC .271 should be decent 0-400
That poor dog.........and the goats wouldn't have felt a thing
Aw, poor woofder :( and shit jesus that did the business on those goats!
Some for the pot..

Haha.... Nice work Dougie! Did I see you in NZ Hunter per chance?
Those 45 gr pills took care of business at 250 as well... Wasn't lacking any punch with as it knocked a big nanny over with a shoulder shot.
One passed clean through a young kid and wasn't fatal even though it hit below the eye and exited through the bottom of the jaw but the next shot hit the top of the head and was all over.
Nice work on the goats there SlimySquirrel.
Nice work on the rabbits Dougie! I also see you brought your CF issued boots with you to NZ as well ha ha.
went for a spotlight last night, shot only one cat on the whole property
I only found it due the excruciating sound the female cat(of which I shot the big ol tom who was mounting her) was making while they were partaking in Intercourse
It sounded like a pig squealing from a distance, man Id hate to be a female cat with the barbed penises cats have
Ya learn something everyday!
Nasty little pricks alright!!
