    My first one was a rat that succumnd too bait good job

    Next was a friggen magpie that swooped me multiple times this week so today I was armed again and got the attacker

    And not long after the magpie I pulled off a great shot on a crowI rekon 50mtres with the .22 lr model 14p stirling.

    Then i saw mum rabbit and two little ones,so i never took the shot. Will wait to they are bigger for the oven

    Farking Magpies Dundee, I hate the Aussie mongrels. Shot 37 of them on the farm last summer but the get smart and work out that man with 22 equals death so the piss off when they see that. In the end I was having to shoot out of the windows of the house to get the little shits. A couple of weeks back I was coming back from a walk at 5:30 in the morning and I saw I had got a possum in a Timms trap and bugger me there were three of its mates lined up for a turn. Quick sprint to get the .22 saw those three go to the happy hunting grounds in the sky as well.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
