The video method is as good as any. If you try shoulder and head to break the neck they will scrag you with the back legs. Often with the higher powered LED torches they seem to think they are already dead and do the "Just go towards the light" thing.
Just tell Jet "Eat boy!" problem solved:D
Spoke to a trapper today that had taken 30kgs of fur into H&F and he got $3450.00
That is a lot of possums Dundee.Quote:

Sure would.
taranaki two step stomp till they die, crude but I dont like blood on my hands while Im using my rifles (no dirty innuendo ment) because it strips the blueing off
We sold 6kgs of fur the other day and the lady who bought it was on her way to pick up 30-something kg and 200 skins! Sweet pay day
Theres obviously a lot fur out there.
Saw this rabbit in the morning but was a bit small so left it.

Pluck all the fur Toby except the head cause the furs too short,only the tail fur up to the coarse fur,there were some buyers paying for tail fur but who want to piss around with tails. Don't pluck fur around the neck gland....ya can't any way its not long enough:yaeh am not durnk:Quote:

Oh dear. I had a rather vivid dream last night that I had tracked a little blood trail while I was out for a walk in town and it lead me to someone's cat, curled up and half dead in a shed. And I did the old two-step to put it out of it's misery! I shouldn't read the forum before bed time.... :O_O:
Oh the good ole Nightmares on NZHS street:D:DQuote:

Had a good night out last night. Rushed out straight after work, grabbed the 17HMR and got shooting.
Got 6 all up.

Way to go Turner!
Very nice weapon there Turner nz

I've been tossing up whether to get one of those or spent $170 more and get the Henry. They look like real good fun.Quote:

I went out to a really open local farm after team for a quick shoot. Way out of 17HMR range and my 223 isn't up and running yet so I grabbed the 7mm08.
I was hoping the thing would vaporise but the big 140 grain bullets I'm using nowdays aren't designed to explode on such little tiny targets.
Lasered at 280m. That crap Bushnell I have on it goes up to 24x but it's almost a waste of time. I'm going to put my 6-20 grand slam on it and bring another one for the 223 in I think.

Couldn't trap the 3rd bugger cause the tanker was late.
I have some nesting up under the eaves of my house at the moment. Working their arses off feeding chicks.
