I have shot and eaten a total of one wallaby from the CNI. Clean looking animal. No smell. More like a rabbit than a rat. I don't tend to delve around in the guts of any animal I shoot. Back legs...

I've seen feral sheep in there, and rumour has it that there are a few pigs around. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the forest itself, but the farmland runs right up to it.

Trip to the farm. Not many rabbits about, but turkeys out of control!

I've had that too, plus a hint of grass. It was a backstrap diced, skewered and cooked over a charcoal BBQ. Very disappointing as I've read that hare tastes like venison so many times. Most of our...

What a bunch of pussies, everyone knows that an air rifle is the right choice for pigs!

Thanks. The boy was so in to it. He loved that I trusted him with the rifle when we climbed over fences (unloaded/magazine out/bolt open). He also makes a great retriever!

Epic bunny hunt this evening (by local standards). About a third of our bag, the rest being taken after dark.

Damn Jessica, you shot the Easter Bunny! :D

You'll see the hare meat is red compared to the white meat from rabbits and might want adjust your recipes accordingly. Good butchery by the way.

Hmmm... I wish we had deer up north!

Fun on the farm today. Daddy day care is definitely the best day care!

Took the boy out for a rabbit hunt today. Wasn't sure what to expect due to the drought and wondered if the rabbits would be out. In short, we walked a couple of kilometres and didn't see anything...

Christmas Eve bunny hunt. Large numbers for Northland, or where I shoot at least.

Edited for you :D

An unsuccessful rabbit hunt for me tonight. I did have an opportunity for a hare at 82m, but haven't shot anything for a while, so thought I'd get closer and off he went. Later on, I shot a magpie at...

Mine stay in the fridge for 24 hours. I've always thought that hanging at (cool) ambient temperature adds to the game flavour, more so if you leave the guts in. We don't need any more gamey flavour...

Guts in or guts out for hanging?

Hare today...

I used the "gutless" method to prepare the animal taking backstraps and back legs. So much nicer than dealing with guts! All good practice for the rare occasion I get to shoot...

You could use standard WMR rounds for longer range stuff, or where more energy needed and the subsonics for closer range stuff, or where keeping quiet is important, so quite versatile. The first...

Sure, but those subs make the WMR pretty versatile?

what are wmr subs like? winchester?

Just steep.

There was no way we were going to carry out those carcasses from where we were, but we did harvest a few legs from the eaters.
