Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Have access to a new property, shot 6 but was only able to recover 4. Landowner happy for me to keep chipping away at the population
Meat not wasted, good friend happy to take it off my hands.

Wife not keen about chewing on Bright Eyes

I give the meat to my mate who cooks it Filipino styles with chillies and potatoes. Hate to see game meat go to waste, so happy to give it to a mate who will enjoy with his family

Bit of bait for the cage traps

So packed up to move closer to town for work for next few months. Decided to have one more coffee before left and this appeared. Nice timing, I'd just been thinking be nice to pop once last hare before I went.

Foxy wad stoked too.

Took the rifle to work this morning.

Heavy pregnant doe so just took the best bits,dog got the rest.

So in New place. Spent bit arvo sitting on bar stool, behind the frosted glass in bathroom taking out starlings in pear tree, with crosman 1322. While drinking coffee. Lush.
Decided to see if any rabbits at night. ( this is like only an arce section) and ended up with this.

First .177 possum. Shot behind eye and bit low for my liking. Dropped strait out of tree, not dead but not able to move. Put one thru top of skull which is responcable for ear leakage.

You know for all the opossum I've shot I've never eaten one.
Anyone fill me in on the taste and whether its as good as hare or rabbit ?

Let you know tomorrow billbob.
Just grabed back leg off young female that was in pear tree.
Being next to maize fields and the fruit trees I'm hoping it's flavoring is good

Possum rocks. That is a totally eatable. Better than hare by a long shot. My only regret is I only took one leg. It will be on menu for sure. Gawd all the meat I've wasted not eating them.
Bit more of pain on arse checking for signs of tb.
Done at 180c on air fry.
