    I am trying to teach these buggars that it’s a one way trip up a post stay - getting hard to find - one out of 20 odd traps today


    Sighted in my new 17 - haven’t been able to find anything to savage yet - cunning magpies are playing safe

    So before I decided to remove the scope from my 300Rum I thought it might be a good idea to go for a morning dive and drop a few goats for the local farmer. shooting mostly 3-500 yards, I managed to pull off my longest shot yet one goat at 885 yards, and the second at 925 yards . all retrieved for dog food... now to wait for the new toy to turn up 1000 yards look out Name:  IMG_1482.jpg

    What little pesties did you bowl over today?

    Not today but a while back. Myna landed at the range. 7mm RM might be over kill. But it worked.

    I still like pest shooting, like all hunting you never know whats going to happen and Saturday night possums was no different. I have been itching to get the newly assembled 10/22 parts special out and blood it. Also for some reason I hadn't take the Maxtorch out for possums yet.

    Started with a bunch of Twofas. Then this guy... He was pretty pissed after I shot him in the wrong end. He fell out of the tree and I went to finish him with a head shot.

    Then in an act of possum F*** You defiance he grabbed the end of my MAE suppressor and bit hard! Look at the result:

    FAAAA Health and Safety moment team. Don't pick up a live possum. These buggers have sharp teeth. H and S moment for possums: Don't stick a suppressor in your mouth.

    It was then on to the calling tree (see previous post) and I heard it before I Maxtourched it... How? 14 possums scurrying up at once sounds like an army of cockroaches!

    It was more like a firing squad really. Just to get a perspective the tree:Name:  20160910_223947.jpg

    First branch is at eye level for me. Anyway byt the ed it was about 26 in total not including all the Twofas and I went home.

    A few things learned:
    1.WOW the Maxtorch. What a beast.
    2. Keep fingers away from live possums.
    3. 6.5-20 Weavers are not a good hunting scope even if you set paralax on 25.
    4. Plucking 14 possums takes a long time.
    5. WOW the Maxtorch. What a beast!

    BTW anyone know who is buying possum fur in Auckland?
