If you had have picked it up by the tail you probably would have only swung its head into the trunk of the tree. At least the back of the axe is a step up from that. Not a very big one I'll admit but a step up nonetheless.Quote:

When trapping I take any wet ones home alive to dry out...can be fun trying to get several in a sack together and then when tying on the horse one has to be careful that there is a blanket between their claws and the horse.
I have been out of action for a week. When it comes to feral cats in a haybarn I are usually fairly lenient as they keep the mouse population down. But this morning when a cat ran up the hay and was disappearing into a hole I grabbed my shotty of the quad rack and loaded and fired as he was making a retreat.:cool::thumbsup: Couldn't see him in the gap after the shot so put a standard in the hole and pulled the fecker out.:yuush:

The cabins occupant emerged to see me dragging a very dead possum out of the hedge under the window "Sorry mate just a bit of pest control" as I dissapeared back through the gate:O_O:
Yeah England. We were out after a few bunnies but my mate bought a 243 along "just in case". We came across the second one at about 30yds just sat there scratching its arse so it got 75 grains in the mush.Quote:

Now theres a true definition of the words Red and Neck ha ha haQuote:

Took the missus out night shooting on Sunday night, she held the light, I shot. Tally for 3 hours shooting was 23 possums, 12 hares, a rabbit and a nice eating red yearling. Gentlemen's hunting/shooting, all animals were shot off the quad. Nice evening out.
If only... That's lazy and awesome all at once he he :thumbsup:Quote:
