    Got out this morning spotted one as soon as we drove into the block, it took off up the fenceline so we followed in the truck till it disappeared over the brow, hopped out and snuck over the edge and it had let us right to a mob of at least a dozen....definately retarded

    Had a big blaze up, got momentarily distracted by a couple of hares. Got two of each out of that volley, coupla big gobblers but choke was a bit tight. And yes I am wearing hot pink hi-viz

    We caught up with a couple more mobs, gave my mate a hoon with no luck, at about mid day we went back around to where we had the first bomb up to see a big mob heading up into the blue gums, with the last few rounds I ran behind the ridge to the other side of the blue gums and got another couple of hens.

    8.5kg of meat all up, got some good tips off youtube for whipping out the breast and legs only took a couple of mins per bird. Definitely taking chilly bin and more ammo next time (one box didnt cut it) and gotta get my .22 done it wouldve been the tool for the job.

    Awesome day burning round the farm in the wee suzuki got into some wet spots and climbed some hills, definately gained a bit more respect for her especially on road tires
