I'd seen him on my first shoot of this property but never got a shot at him, he's been lucky in the past with holes thru both ears.

I'm not usually one to skite but I was pretty happy when I whacked a hare at 201m with my recently acquired 17hmr and dropped it on the spot this arvo. No photo sorry as it was a standard engine room shot. High fived myself

You did a mint job of headskinning the rabbit GWH as rabbit skins are thinner than paper.

Had a very similar think myself many years ago but I was the one that put the hole in a black bunnys ear attempting a head shot. I did get it a week or so later and saw the evidence.

Once again the 22's been earning it's keep at home, 5 shot one after the other!!

Enjoyed a couple of hours of father & son time in the orchard on a stunner Hawkes Bay winters day.

Good stuff.
Those are some big rabbit holes. Looks like one rabbit had a splitting head ache.

Bloody Wombats

Yeah mate, almost lost the lad down one of the larger holes, thought I was going to have to call out the cave rescue team.

Yeah the 17 Hornet is devastating eh, the lad is getting a graphic lesson that these rifles are not toys

Yes very true.

Only 2 hours, but so many lessons reinforced.

First conquests for my 8.6 x 47 Lapua the replacement for my 338 BRX AR15 upper.



May the little buggers can make a mess in a couple of nights

Bloody good work, at that age the litters still behave like a group and you can get a good number as they come back to see what there mates are doing "break dancing". Little noses like that just skim the surface and root up a ton on ground in very short order.
Here are a few more, the old heading dog loves this and will herd breakers back towards me. Hes getting on now but gets a new lease of life when i pick up the rifle and say pigging.
