    That would make good eel bait for VC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    These little critters aren't really considered pests here but I thought I'd put up yesterday's snare line winnings. We have 12 snares along a trail at a distance of about 50m each and have been picking up about 1 a day on average. Lots of coyote tracks around but we haven't lost one yet!

    Tastes just like NZ grass-fed bunnies despite the differences in diet. Honestly, the award for the best tasting North American rodent is a toss up between the Porcupine and the Eastern Red Squirrel I've made a few squirrel pies so far this season but no porky-pricks yet...

    Reckon you'd need a fair few of those for a feed.

    Tastes just like rabbit to me! I'd probably need 3-4 of them to get the same amount of meat as I would off one rabbit but these guys are really active on warm days in the winter so they're easy to hunt if you have a good spot. Still working on that minor detail...

    These guys have long tails, probably as long as their body. The short-tailed tree rats are chipmunks which are about the same size but much rarer and there's no season on em.
