    What, critter for tea again! I had only just fed him his usual dinner and not ten minutes later he starts barking alerting me to the presence of this doe around 50m from his kennel. Maybe he can just have two biscuits tomorrow.Name:  IMG_0797.jpg

    We stopped feeding coons to the dogs as the councils have bait stations every where

    Hmm better to be safe, Ill set up a little chopping block and tomahawk at the Kennel. Hadn't really thought much about the poison Dundee. No council poison work close by but wouldn't really no what the neighbors are up to, how long does it take for some of the poisons to work? And I wonder how far a sick possum is going to travel..

    @Dundee it is hard for me to believe you have not shot any critters in the last four days. Are you sick or have you had too many bombers and lost your .22?
    BRADS and deadidick like this.
    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

    The .22 stays locked up most of the time during gamebird season. @Rushy I'm back on board with a double rise

    I popped out to check the trailcam after work, with a rifle in hand of course.
    This fella was feeding out around 60 metres up the track so I sent him a message from the 308.
    He bolted into nearby bush so Fay was sent to find. Stupid dog must have run right past the Billy, which was very dead behind a windfall. She had nailed an unseen Kidd about twenty mtrs past it. So I got a trophy(of sorts) and a feed, for one shot.
