My Son smacked this buck rabbit with a thermal scope on a .22LR Baikal MP-161K. Took the shot at 68 metres. I would have got a bit closer myself, but the optimism of youth.... :)

What is that star trek looking phaser?
Getting harder to shoot the aussies in the eye as they are past 100metres now after seeing all there mates go blind.:D

One out of four copped it in the head with the .22lr bolt action.:)And the scope is a 4x32 so what you see in the top pic is a very small target.:thumbsup:

One stoopid bunny stopped about 60yds away. He copped one through the swede and bits of his head went 15-20 foot in the air. Impressive
Up at the olds for dinner last night and found a wasps nest in an old bunny hole so nuked it tonight:yuush:

Got a couple this morning
Cut a new track 100m into a steep corner by a waterfall and put a trap at the end - seems they like using tracks - poor bloody juvenile climbed right into the Sentinel - only one I have got across the shoulder - wouldn’t have been nice :omg:
Interesting that traps near streams seem to be working best - do possums and rats need to hang round water sources when it is so dry :drool:

Guess they get thirsty too
Is there any difference in collecting juvenile fur over adult fur? Was going to start collecting it this weekend at a mates farm.
Got one maggie this arvo at 100mtre with .22 rifle. No pics sorry they all look black and white.:)
Took me old lab for a gallop after work and saw a black kitten moving across the paddocks at 100mtres also, after the first shot the dog was on the retrieve mode but the little sucker wasn't hit.:ORLY: Paws up in the labs face just in time to blow it away.:yuush:

Out tonight at my usual spot ... 1 rabbit @ 315yds .. the rest of them I got with a cuppla metres of them before they took off ... grass too long ....
New Rangefinder (Bushnell) ... bloody awesome ... (thanks @Mrs kiwi39)
new scope on the 243 ... Clearidge 4.5 - 22.5 bloody amazing !!!
Shot two rabbits with my bow last night with small game heads. It didn't kill them though, just stunned enough for me to run up and do the two-step on their heads. Not really into that :( I think I need to adjust the 'pointy end'.....
My 8yr old son got his very first bunny yesterday!
Made me very proud and he had the biggest smile you could imagine!
...he also got a Turkey, but retrieval was difficult so was a maybe, not a definate.
Troy holding my bunny, but he finished him off with a quick second shot! [Savage MkIIF 22LR]

Troy and new friend 'Flash' heading out on the Turkey hunt... we sure chased them around many hills, but i think they were taunting us...
In any case they were sprayed with varying volleys of 22LR, 223 and 308 from me :P

My buddy Sam came up to North Canty on Sat night and we did a bit more magpie shooting followed up with some spotlighting.. I don't know if the areas I normally spotlight in have been hammered or there aren't too many bunnies about because it's so dry round here at the mo, we saw maybe 6 and shot 3 for the night..
Any who couple of pics with us set up looking for magpies.. His is the laminate marlin with a bull barrel, mine is the ruger american both 17 HMR

Do you kill the hedge hogs? Are they a pest to anybody?
They are so cuuuuuuuuuuuute. I try to avoid them when on the road.
