    Out for enjoyable bunny shoot last night just 45 mins from Chch city. Wandered part of a farm and shooting from truck we popped 28 bunnies and hares in 2.5 hours. 12 guage and @gadgetman on his 223.

    I have this old 1930s side by side Savage shotgun. Savage by name and savage by nature. Built like a tractor and boots like a mule especially when shooting fast and you don't get the cheek weld right. But ... still bowls them out to 50- 60 yards every time. Will never part with the old b#*#...

    Good night out for the boys...

    "Betsie loves @mudgripz", provides great in-car-entertainment for the rest of us.

    My wee 223 is much more civilised but it sure make a mess of the little critters.

    A great evening out.

    2 rabbits out the back paddock at about 80m just before dark the 204 turns them into instant dog food ready to eat and a plover at 40m instant fertilizer for the grass

    Yes very necessary to cull them. Farmer on our shoot the other night said he was seeing more cats and asked us to shoot them. They do so much damage to native bird life, esp ground nesting birds.

    Saw one, popped one. We have 4 cantab farms and shoot the cats on all of them.

    According to the TV tonight, MPI have just changed their website to list the two biggest pest threats to NZ as...

    1. Wasps
    2. Wallabies

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Took my Ranch on a camping trip near Waimate, and this little bugger showed herself just long enough to put a round in her chest.
