It's currently running a .22 barrel at 14fpe, I have the .177 and .25 barrels for it too but it's a real honey for close range stuff the way it is and I have other Pcp's for longer range stuff.

One less.
Don't get many of these. Usually get Stoats.

Camp possum vs 73gn ELD-M.

Cleaned up a whole mob in one go. They kept running in circles and couldnt figure where the shots came from

Did you get the tails for the comp?

No shortage of tails in Taranaki added to the collection

An old mate of mine runs a few predator traps in the rural area where he lives. It started 10 years ago when we used to breed and release a few pheasants and he has continued the legacy. He uses mainly some old wooden tunnel traps we made at the time. Catches around 20 ferrets, about 12 stoats and roughly 30 odd feral cats. Incidentally he getas a few cats after Gypsy Day every year when the neighbouring dairy farms have a change of staff.
Any way he rang me up to look at a weird looking stoat he caught this week.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Yes I've caught one similar.
It's a seasonal change they go through in the northern hemisphere. They change to white to match their surroundings.
There's a name for it which hopefully one of our resident poms will be able to name for us. @Pengy

It's called ermine.

I think you are reffering to the Weasel

Leshiy out getting busy again tonight, bonus Joey too

Been watching edgun Leshiy on the utube. They seem to be a fantisic pcp. Granted he has a set distance he shoots from, but the results are impressive.
How's it work in the real world mintie? Is it a good all round gun?

Works amazingly in the real world, such a versatile little rifle! In its current configuration any small game out to about 50m is in trouble, if I swap the barrel out and bump the power up that can be stretched out further. I carry it hooked onto a strap (the stock acts like a caribeener) that goes around my neck so it sits under my arm pit, that way your "profile" is more farm worker than hunter. We should catch up some time so you can check it out

Yep they look like pretty awsome guns.
Like to catch up at some time and have a look, but currently have very little time. Maybe in few weeks
