    went out for an afternoon/night shoot last night. After seeing nothing all arvo and stopping for some dinner as it went dark, my mate realised he had left all his batteries for headtorch and scope mounted spot at home in the charger. The decision was made to make the 1hour round trip back to his place to get them and glad we did. Back on the farm at 2200hours and within the first 4 paddocks had 25 possums. Was unbelievable scanning the paddocks with my maxtoch and seeing 3-4 possums at a time sitting in the middle or on the fringes or posts with no trees in sight to hide in.

    6 hours later we ended up with 38 possums, 3 rabbits and 7 hares. including this headshot from 80m+

    Well done Tarrbaby. Did you harvest the possum fur?

    yep we got just under 2kgs last night (couldnt pluck them all as some were cold by the time we got back to them and some lost in the bush) so have about 5+kgs waiting for the price to go back up before cashing in. Alot of big boys and girls last night with really thick coats. Mustve been the altitude as at the other farm we're only getting half as much off each one.

    Ironic, Murphys law got a magpie in the trap today after the weekend competition and shot 3 of the Aussies today and counted 56 in two paddocks.

    Hopefully killed this wasp nest too.Name: picture 3265.jpg Views: 521 Size: 164.3 KB
    They were still buzzing around when I set the ladder up,but at 2130hrs taped a bait station to the entrance and gave the entrance a squirt of wasp killer powder then got out of there real quick.

    Fly spray fucks wasps up real good, when I find a nest I get a can and a broom handle and spray the entrance as you rark them up with the handle, it almost looks like a volcano they come flying up and as soon as they hit the spray they drop.
