    Good work there Dundee on Micky and Minnie - bloody pests will all be looking to come inside with the first signs of Autumn
    Went for a walk round half the Park this morning - two possums and two rats - had to put out a lot of new bait as the mice are stripping them - lots of Snap traps tripped but no sign of the culprits
    This bait stripper had a one way trip into a Timms -

    Top tip for you. Pull the battery compartment off and wire in a 9volt battery. Then it is truly amazing. Instant fire and much better sound!!! lol

    Had my first kill in NZ a magpie with my 77/22, hopefully more to come, when I find my feet and somewhere to go.

    Thought I had this bugger. Opened trap and the bugger took off.

    If he wants to dig holes in my garden - he should watch where he puts his feet

    A few leaves for cover

    Crushed his front end - a powerful trap

    Not caught today but my parents bought a house of an old fellow and part of the deal was they keep the pet rabbit which had its little area outside one of the lounge windows. We soon discovered a rat under the hutch and took 5 days to finally catch it. The normal rat traps wouldnt catch it but peanut butter on the foot plate of this possum trap did the trick.

    98 rounds fired, 80 more dead rabbits..

    Made some real improvements in my shooting these last three weeks. The most significant one being in my trigger technique.
