    It all depends on what you want to accomplish? plinking, 100% of the day ninja quiet pest control, supersonic in the morning and evenings for longer range deer then subs putting a wounded animal down point blank and or for the rest of the day shooting bunnies, goats and possums?

    My last trip I still had a barely alive stag shot with a supersonic and put him down with a subsonic 151gr cast to the back of the head, its a lot better on the ears for me and the dog than a full noise supersonic and disturbing the surrounding area. During the day we hunt goats and possums. 100m and less the goats gets subs, the dog points possums in trees and rock holes and they get a sub and I pluck the fur. That trip the dog got me 22 possums of that I could shoot safely which payed for my fuel and ammo.

    You don’t need a spotlight or traps to get possums just a versatile rifle and dog.
