Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

yup me too.

Bloody big Hare shot at lunch time today, saw the bugger a few days ago but he quickly moved to the customer's neighbors horse paddock so I couldn't do anything about it. Today the thermal scope spotted him hiding in a tuft of grass and I managed to creep in nice and close with the Leshiy. Bloody thing was bigger than the rifle! Would have butchered him but he had a bit of a skin issue going on so left him for the Hawks to have a feed.

@Mintie if you don't mind me asking, where did get the Leshy from and how much?

Oh and what caliber is it?? :-)

I have .177, .22 and .25 barrels for it, it's currently set to 14fpe in .22 cal which is perfect for the bird work it mainly does for me, in .25 it can get up to about 30fpe from memory.

It came from the NZ supplier but I believe it was the only one ever imported.

Nice one man, sharp wee rig. At a guess, 2ish grand?

Hey @Dundee get some shell pigeon decoys and also use the ones you have shot camo up and get it so they land into the wind. Camo hide little movement only shoot what’s close. Then get back 10days latter that’s there memory span.
Will be good sport! They love peas them pigeons! Breast them out or freeze em whole for decoys next time around. If the landing in the middle of paddock a few standards with bags over the top will move em.

Be back in 8 @Dundee leave them till then let em build up dead ones don’t eat figure out there flight lines and set an ambush. Should be good sport

Had a lot of fun last night and shot about 14 bunnies, took home 10. The four I left were either too small or had signs of disease (diarrhea, lumps). My freezer is absolutely chock full of rabbit and goat right now, need to figure out what to do with it all over the summer. Really proud of myself for not gut shotting a single animal.
Some of the rabbits looked like they had coccidiosis? (white lumps) in the liver so just chucked those particular livers.

I also like how when gutting the female rabbits that have a lot of milky mammary glands under the skin, the livers end up get an early milk-soak. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to taste bunny milk.

Only just
