Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Got to go for a walk on the farm today. Wasn't too windy so I took one of the hornets. Walking along the track firstly I saw a couple of mynas haven't shot one of those in ages so ranged it and just under 100m so decided that would test the zero and 1 dead myna didn't take a pic as there wasn't much to take one of. A little while later about an hour I spotted a small mob of goats counted 11. I sat and just watched them for a while but they were out of reach for the hornet at 525m plus a lot of wind up on the ridge and no decent backstop so flagged those ones. carried on doing the loop and spotted another mob of 16, also not in a good spot to take a shot as they were on the top of another ridge and no backstop but they were within range at 170m. I just lay there watching them to see which way they would go and also had something to eat. Eventually they came down the side of the ridge towards me a bit, so I picked one out and took a shot at the shot he dissapeared and the others took off. I walked over to where he had been and he had run about 8m around the corner and dropped dead on a slip. headed back home for a date with the lawnmower...

A deflated squirrel, that was busy scolding me while out hunting, i had to change the 7x64 barrel to .22 hornet barrel, fit the scope and get ammo from bag, Was still scolding me and the dog, so deflated with a 46gr soft point. pretty graphic.

All from a couple weekends ago. Hopefully the weather holds and we can get out this weekend and get some more dog food

Wow you look like you killed a whole family of Wabbits !

A couple of hours this afternoon with the 17HMR. It can be pretty brutal.

This one was odd. I shot a rabbit at about 30m. There was a puff of fur, and it vanished out of sight behind the little hump it had been partialy obscured by. When I went over I found this????

WTF??? Looked around and couldn't see any other part of it. Eventually found it about 5m away in some broom bushes down hill from where I had shot it and it had dropped it's guts.

Some good trap bait right there mate

First peacock with my .25cal air rifle. Young one that I've taken the breasts off to try.



Also got this one with my crossbow yesterday but hit high and it made it off and couldn't find it untill I came back today.

Yeah. That's where they are going.

Spotted just a head above fence in the long grass.

No problem.

Plan didn’t quite work out. Still got one.
