    Those are my hunting boots, got them so they complemented my sling.
    I'm just a bit to soft to go out barefoot in reality.

    Another wee bunny, at 53 yards this time.
    Almost feel bad shooting any bunnies at less that 70 yards now, it doesn't feel overly sporting. Need to start ripping into the plovers and...

    Would have got his mate too that came to have a look, but couldn't get the shot off due to uncomfortable position leaning on gate.

    Google Jugged Hare
    Some folk say it's an extremely gamey meat and not for the faint hearted, but I found it good done as a casserole type dish.

    Shot a goat with the ol 303 today. 180gr bullet didn't do as good a job at killing as I'd hoped, just sailed straight through.
    Should have used my 223.

    Blimey, that out of a 223 or 204 Ruger (assume it's not 22-250).
    I shoot a plover with a 40gr Vmax from my 223, and the bullet passed straight through the bugger at over 100 meters, had to chase it...

    Certainly helps cover some of the cost. Dam your 17hmr ammo is cheaper than over here. Probably equivalent to £15 to £18 a box depending where you go.

    A shame as the 9 he has there is easily enough for another box of 17hmr ammo. With 7 he would have enough and then two for himself. lucky shooting them is so much fun.

    The next one I shoot I'll try frying the legs again and roast the rest.

    Ive got a place where I shoot goats, and I only ever take one or two. The farmer probably wants me to take them all, but he doesn't have to know lol.
    Younger goats are extremely good eating.
