This cunning Pukeko was squawking and hiding in a ditch on the farm and only sticking his head up to check my location at about 120/130m away. I was hunting bunnies and hares, but couldn't resist the opportunity to test myself on such a small target...

Couldn't find it's other leg! Looks awesome on video... Like a Hollywood bomb detonationQuote:

By the way...Although the thread says "today" and the photo was posted today, no, the birdey wasn't shot today, so relax and breathe

Awana mate, havent got that far north for bunnies yet... trying to get more places.. Barrier is properly over run with them, hence the DoC culler coming in... considered it, but Mrs wasnt keen.. ugh, total ball n chain :pissed off:Quote:

Hey guys,
I popped down to Taupo for a shoot with my cousin. I really like Taupo, might be on the short list for moving when I'm ready to get far away from Auckland!
Not a bad pile of rabbits we got together huh? Not even an hours work.

The dog thought it was Christmas when we got back to my cousins place.
I went out last night too and bowled over a few hares and bunnies. I love my little HMR.
Only stopped to take a couple photos. We got about a dozen that night. We spent ages chasing this one massive hare around and passed up a few more shots on others to try to get to it. At the end I was forced to take a 220m shot with the HMR and I over-compensated for drop and he got away. Probably just as well. It runs out of punch once you get up close to 200m.
