You need a few more 'buddy's'
3 years ago when I first started shooting a particular apple orchard that had a seriously bad rabbit problem, after I'd shot several hundred rabbits off it the orchard manager mentioned that they...
I had a good session shooting pests in the orchard on Friday night, after dark with the Pard IR NV gear.
The strong wind we had all day tapered off to nothing and the animals were out in force.

Nice work! Yep the trigger time pest shooting is always fun, ya mate Brendon is certainly enjoying his T1x 17hmr :thumbsup:
How do you find shooting off the tripod, obviously seems to work. I'm...
Shot a heap of rabbits on a new property (small orchard) this arvo, no pics or video taken, too busy shooting the buggers.
Damn good fun
Have you tried eating them Bruce?
Had a session on Sat evening with twin Tikka T1x 17hmrs.
A mate really liked using mine so he got one for himself and I helped out setting it up. Mounting a scope, zeroing and validating drop to...
Cool photo
Out doing some pest control in the apple orchard this arvo, my 8 year old is taking quite a shine to my T1x 17hmr.
He was pretty happy with his head shot at 77 yards, thats all we could see...
Heres a rabbit I shot in the head with the 17 Hornet as it was facing me dead on.
Images took from video footage, the vid was pretty...
Lots of fun coming up there!
That all sounds pretty good Evan, thanks for the detailed reply.
Nice work Evan, im interested on your thoughts comparing the HT-60 to the Pard 008 that you had.
I love your dedication and planning to put a strategy together to nail these maggies. I love the love/hate relationship you have with them. Great work and very satisfying when it all comes off like...
To be fair, the 17 Hornet makes it pretty easy. With the little 20gr bullet getting along at 3700 fps the trajectory is pretty flat. Ie any rabbit within 230 yards i can just aim straight at it...
Ive changed scopes on 17 Hornet, so went out to the Apple orchard to sight it in last night.
It was pretty windy so i sighted it dead on at 43 yards which is its near zero for a secondary zero...
I took the 17 Hornet out for an outing late Sat arvo. Visited a new vineyard property that was suppose to have a few rabbits around.
We saw very few, and managed to shoot most of them. Including...
Here's the vid of my North Island Big Cat experience ;-) Make sure you have the volume up to hear the savage thing...

Out knocking over a few rabbits tonight with the T1x 17hmr with the Pard IR NV008 and new external IR illuminator from Kiwi-hunter......i came accross this big feral, bloody heavy bugger too.
...
The weather has been bloody wet and shitty here for a few days, the heavy rain dropped to a drizzle by mid arvo so that was good enough for me, i needed to get out for a wander and get some trigger...
Flyblown they sure do have awesome eyesight alright.

Nice work! Always fun. Whats the hayfever recipe mate?
Had my lad out for a quick wander late yesterday arvo. We nailed a few with the 17 Hornet. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211018/015c1af74a7c19fd55e2863541d79df0.jpg

Neat little rifle, and i agree it is fun playing with reduced 223 loads. I did some 55s for mine, they shot crazy well too.
