Yep tailing finishing on our blocks shortly so we're off for a big post-lambing shoot in week or so. Probly do a sleepover in the shearer's quarters and do as big a cull as possible first up. Farmers report quite a few bunnies around and this year winter/spring has been drier so no long grass problem. Quite a number of team members with smiles on their dials and busy charging up R/T and Maxtoch batts etc. Better get to the range for a bit of practice first. Quite a few piggies on one block ....and two deer came home in the back of the truck a few trips back also....very nice sausages
Jonathan - is that a short barrel JW synthetic in the pic? How are you finding bunny numbers this spring?
Anyone else been out - how are you finding rabbit numbers this year. Should have been good for breeding with mild winter and no heavy rain to kill little ones in burrows.
Lovin' my 8mm

I sold my newer version after I'd done all the work of making it sweet, but can't become too attached. This rifle however won't go anywhere soon. My son wants to have it when he's old enough for a licence.
Actually this was my first spring outing and there are loads around, there is heaps of spring growth. Heading to my usual spot on Friday night for a walk around. The farmer and his grandkids did some digging up burrows with the terriers around some old containers that got moved and they found heaps of wee ones. I expect as the first cut of lucerne happens there will be plenty there.
Something for the catAttachment 29974

Headshot these on sunday most off shooting sticks.
This bugger won't be attempting to nest in the roller door above the vat stand again.:D:thumbsup:

Such a big shell for such a little bird Dundee. Sean could have got that with an air rifle.Quote:

I don’t like cats - but bought a Siamese and put ramps all round the shed so he could get up to the high ones - I had to put up with the lazy fat buggar for 17 years - he didn’t seem to like young birds
The 12 gauge was the most effective tool - but only while I was sitting there waiting for them
Large plastic owls, hawks and all other horrible looking birds were a waste of space
Actually - a bunch of old CDs suspended from the rafters on nylon was pretty good - they never stop flashing as they spin
Nah - just keep on shooting the b@stards :)
Hang a possum tail up. birds hate it and wont nest there as possums kill there chicks. I have possum tails in all my barns and sheds.Quote:

Disagree. Have shot hundreds if not thousands of birds with it.Quote:
