Hey guys,
I popped down to Taupo for a shoot with my cousin. I really like Taupo, might be on the short list for moving when I'm ready to get far away from Auckland!
Not a bad pile of rabbits we...
The bunnies have been hard at it makin babies. Finally they're starting to appear on the farm again... not for long though :P
...
Yeah it's a bit of an adjustment. It's a bigger rifle than my HMR and it's even bigger than my model 700 7mm08. The bit I struggled with the most is getting behind the high mag scope. I'm really...
I've finally blooded the 223. I've been a real slacker about getting my 223 into a state where I can hunt with it, but it's finally suppressed and ready to go so I took it out last night.
I missed...
People can't tell you what to say or show. If it hurts their delicate little feelings they can easily block posts from someone rather than censoring them.
Tell them to harden the F up :P I hate hippies.
It really winds me up when people are happy buying a steak from the supermarket, but if you show something you ate that had a MUCH NICER end to it's...
Are hedgehogs pests? I see a few sniffing around when I'm out at night and always just leave them be.
Cats are another one I don't deal to because most of the properties I shoot on aren't huge and...
I bowled over 3 hares last night (all little ones though). All my offhand practice with the 22 is paying off (that never comes hunting though). One of the shots was offhand at around 80-100m ish. I...
Went out with my brother tonight.

Left 2 possums stuck in trees and whacked another two on the way back to the truck...
Well guys don't quote me on the "any month that has an R in it" thing. I found that on the internet, on my phone, while in the field. It seemed to make sense to me but then I counted out the months...
I've just got back from a hunt since the early afternoon. Between my brother and I we got a half dozen possums, couple of bunnies, couple of hares and I nailed a turkey with the 17HMR.
I know...
Up until a couple months ago I thought I'd killed everything on the farm I live on. Then I started seeing this single little cottontail down in the same spot by the creek a few times. After either...
Nice one Bernie. 240m is a decent shot. My freezer is bloody empty at the moment. I wish a big red like that would jump out in front of me when I was hunting rabbits.
Not much chance of that on...
Awesome Toby. I've had a chance to shoot muzzle loaders a couple of times. Real good fun. You gotta wait half an hour for the smoke to clear :P
Where'd you get them? I've never seen any in any gun...
Went out for a quick hunt by myself tonight. Went out on the same farm I posted pics about earlier in the week.
My stumpy 16" 17HMR on one of my rests I shot from....
Knocked over a few hares this arvo. Boy I'm loving being on holiday. From day to day I'm either fishing or I'm hunting and it's choice!
This little guy got one through the throat with the HMR. I...
I went out to a really open local farm after team for a quick shoot. Way out of 17HMR range and my 223 isn't up and running yet so I grabbed the 7mm08.
I was hoping the thing would vaporise but...
I've been tossing up whether to get one of those or spent $170 more and get the Henry. They look like real good fun.
Cheers. That's my chopped down 17HMR. Choice little rifle for bunnies out to a couple hundred meters.
Here's a better pic

Had a good night out last night. Rushed out straight after work, grabbed the 17HMR and got shooting.
Got 6 all up.

Took the hilux out with the new mud tyres and new spotlight last night.

A few more of the spoils. I learned you can't even wait...
