Out to the local haunt again with alan and Neil, just a short 4 hour shoot but we still managed 106. Can definitely see we are making a massive dent in the population, having to travel further to get...
After a few weeks off with life it was back into it last night, all night, with alan. Conditions were great, very little wind. A new high score of 248 for the site for the evening. We managed to put...
Another session with alan on the local farm last night. Numbers were way down in the high population areas but Alan still managed a record high tally of 232 for the night with phenomenal shooting. I...
Another all night session with alan last night, got home about 8:15am. I shot 1, Alan knocked over 204 for a total that wasn't predicted after some of the others only got something like 84 from the...
Was certainly an interesting trip, mudgripz. Strong winds, light winds, dry and dusty then rain. Considering the conditions the shooting was both exceptional and challenging. I was impressed with the...
I have your Howa hostage, locked away.
Did a return trip to the other end of the farm Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. Reduced to the two man crew again. I shot with the 22WMR in quite windy conditions from 10:00pm to 12:30am when...
I've finally ordered a couple of counters and some flouro tape. Can mount one on scope or torch. See if we cant reduce the typical kiwi understatement. :thumbsup:
Good night last night. The crew was reduced to two and we shot to 4:30 in the morning. Bit of a mop up after a fuller crew shot about 70 last week. Started pretty quiet with me reaching 10 in about 2...
You'll be buggered from having to tell him to 'smile' so much for the photos. ;)
Could weld up a bag from PVC sign/tarp material.
I had the idea of welding up a bin, with some mesh, that can slide into the receiver hitch on the cruisers. Would need something else for my wagon,...
Very good outing. Plenty of Texas Heart Shots as hares are running away and momentarily straighten up to run straight away, very high success rate with that shot as they're still in the cross hairs....
Hey, I just realised you didn't give us our usual 'fireworks' display last night, mudgripz. For the uninitiated this involves electric fences.
It's a bugger when you stop and think you've been outsmarted by a 'dumb' creature. But there is nothing dumb about a strong survival instinct. Well done.
By the time you cook anything there will be nothing left that will ail you.
So overdue to bag a few wobblies. I remember one poking it's head up when I was perched on rock (I picked a nice soft one) eating lunch. Pull range finder from pocket, bang on 200m, and thought to...
I like to wrap them in bacon before going into the oven bag and cook long and slow.
Funny you should mention that. Was just looking at some photos and had one of the line up of the bunny busters. Top was Bob Da Browning's Marlin, My Marlin before it's chop, another members CZ and...
Sunset wasn't too bad.

"Betsie loves mudgripz", provides great in-car-entertainment for the rest of us.
My wee 223 is much more civilised but it sure make a mess of the little critters.
A great evening out.
Yes, Rushy, when I can I bring some home. Not sure I know what this leftovers thing is though.
First pest shoot for the season with mudgripz and another mate. The virus had been through earlier in the year and hammered the rabbits. We saw more rabbits this trip than last, but still mostly...
It's bunny season, far too excited to muck around taking a photo, there could be a gazillion awaiting around the next bend. Way too many hares had the first shot kick up dust in the dirt I could see...
First outing for the season with. As usual the first one evaded my rifle, but a tally of 31 between us for the night. More than we expected to see.
Give them a whistle when they take off, they'll often pause for a look. Always worth a nudge Nige.
