    Bloody hell! I never knew they had Armadillos down the west coast.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    I'm told that Armadillos are quite good eating, roll 'em up in a ball of clay and leave 'em in the fire for an afternoon. Break open the ball and pick out the meat.

    This is the same method used for hedgehogs.

    Here are photos of cats in Timms traps. I've had three in the last month using a chicken drumstick attached to a wooden jig. there is also a 40mm spike that kills the cat immediately. shifting the trap around seems to help also. 6 cats this month 3 in tunnels 3 in Timms.

    I’ve been catching the young ones out playing silly buggers over the last 3 days. Not a very big target, but I think the Chinese CZ is dialled in. Name:  IMG_1560.jpeg

    As you can see they aren’t all like that.
    Had my Savage Mark 2 out as well on the left side. Could benefit from a trigger job and a scope clearer than looking through a dust storm.

    Only a small rabbit but this is the third one shot. Still one out and about, pets let go or escaped who knows, in the wild so fear game. The first time I saw one I was miles away and thought what is that as they stick out like sore balls.
