    Yes. Gotta admit I am pretty envious on the mainland hunters and their opportunities.

    Me too. We fly down from Auckland, hire a car and stay for a few days. Problem is the rabbit population will re-populate in the time it takes us to fly back to Auckland.

    Mate trying for some very long range shots on the far hillside. Turns out according to Google maps it was @650m

    Crikey mate. That's a bit over shottie range! Were you able to hit many at that distance?

    At that range, no. We got close but just annoyed them rather than hit them. But got them later when we were closer. My PB is just under 400m across the gully in the back of the photo. Anything under 240 ish is basically point and click, but I also use my Howa for 200m silhouette shooting so I've put a few rounds downrange with it...

    We still get quite a few with the shottie and .22 at night anyway, going on the farm for longer range stuff is my zen relaxation place.
