No Caldwell, just a Harris bipod and Allen rear rest of the bonnet of my ute! Prone or kneeling when Mobile.

Sorry my bad, I thought Caldwell put out the pro chrony. How are you going to verify the speed?

Thanks @ Trout, yes the freezer was starting to get a bit low. Will cut out back steaks, take off shanks and mince the rest.

One less predator.

nice to see mr fatguts jacokget a terminal blowjob -mind you that .223 damage would bring a tear to a glass eye.mind you shot a hare with a 3"34gm 12g load at about 10m one day .yup the hole was one beaurepaires couldnt even patch and the contents of the boiler rommlooked like badly made raspberry jam .cockies farm dogs even turned their noses up -eels didnt.

Fork! That cats thinks it a Tiger!

Had a good 1.5 days out in the cold, helping save the winter crop - this was the start of day#1

Gidday @SmokeyJason "How are you going verify the speed?"
I do a couple of quick checks (1) Is it dead? If the answer is YES, then that speed is OK! If the answer is NO, I need more speed!
Second check (2) Is the exit hole BIG or small? If it's BIG that's fast enough! If it's small, I need more speed!
Not as scientific as some on this forum, but it works for me.

@Jukes what an awesome day out!
What's is the rifle and calibre?
Were they all at close range in the bush?
Dog tucker od human consumption?

Love science, lol.

Yeah mate, ended up with 42 on the ute (made a full tray!)
Had a 22-250 doing most of the work along side a .308 (slight overkill, but surplus ammo).
Majority of them 120-160m a couple out to 280m. They weren't too fond of our presence!
We gave a couple nice ones away to be eaten but the rest went to be processed for dog tucker. 3 lads started a pest control venture... we'll travel all over the North Island shooting what we're asked to. Should probably throw something up on here at some point

What a beautiful morning to me clinging onto a cliff face by your toe nails and finger tips.
Three shots, three dead Billy Goats Gruff!
Shots them at 10.45am. Rolled two to the beach at the bottom of the cliff. The other is within 50m of the top fence.
Just got back to the ute for a sandwich, only to find I've run out ot coffee!!!!! WTF!!!
Wind is up to 25 - 30 knots now LOL

Wheel barrow racing





It's been a good day!

And then we finished of with this hind.
I gotta ask, is the this an old red, or a Wapiti hybrid cross?
She just looks big and ugly?
