Four of these.

53 rabbits and 3 roos with the 223 for an evening wander, then a mouse with the Sportivas and another bunny with the truck on the way home.
Good haul yesterday evening.. 64 bunnies, 3 roos, 1 hedgehog, and a hat-trick of ferrets. (Actually got another ferret with the truck on the way back out to the road.. silly thing, I was barely above...
80 more bunnies yesterday evening. (83 if you include the 3 with the truck on the way home)
Only missed five shots all night, which I’m particularly happy about. Two of those were due to trying to...
107 bunnies and 2 roos introduced to the 223 yesterday evening. First walkaround chasing rabbits for far too long. Took a little while to get my trigger finger fully recalibrated to ‘rabbit...
Yeah, just went as far as the first sniping posse I took you to, because I was just planning on shooting a handful and carting a decent bit of meat..
That one I popped at about 90, very steep down angle though, he was grazing in the bottom of a steep creek. The last one I shot for the evening flushed out of the tussock about 10 metres away from...
Five of these last night.

Not sure if that would have been north island Dama wallaby, or south island Bennets wallaby, but either way, yes have eaten southern roo meat in the past. It was mostly edible, but it still always...
Good plan, plenty more where those ones came from. Bit of a walk but well worth it. You know how to reach me..
About time I contributed again..
This aussie invader on last light made for number 6 for the afternoon/evening with the 223.

Good effort, wee snack packs.
Gorgeous grain on that stock. Nice haul on the hoppers too!
Out for a shoot last night, snagged a ferret and a couple of hares. Oh, and 141 wallabies.
223 was running a little hot all night.. poor barrel.
Stopped on the track looking over a gully at...
17hmr indeed. Put him straight down, but shot placement was pretty spot on there. They're tough wee critters, have had the odd one soak up a few rounds in the past before finally expiring.
They do...
That's for sure.
I suspect this to be the same ferret that I spotted maybe 3-4 months ago, when we were shooting the same block from the other end. Continuously moving, pausing only to dive in and...
70-odd bunnies, 8 roos, 1 cat, and this tricky wee thing last night..

Another hefty roo from last night. Mate tweaked the trigger on his wee ruger for a significant improvement. A very well sorted package now, performing very nicely.

~35m with .17HMR and Thermal scope. Probably prouder of this than I should be..

Of the one in my profile pic? Second cousin, now removed. :thumbsup:
Dropped this heavy-duty buck roo with the .17 while cleaning up rabbits last night.

Good night last night..

One rat this afternoon when giving the neighbour a hand around the deer shed.
Then 5 rabbits this afternoon/evening, off another neighbour's place. She's closing in on 90, and the holes they're...
Absolutely illegal to kill falcons, and there's no reason to do so.
Harriers/Hawks are legal to kill if they are harassing or harming stock. Lambing time is a pretty critical time for this,...
