Our 4 man team managed to secure 308 of the environmental terrorist bears, with just over 1,300 being taken in total.

That's a good effort. The school pluck the possums?

No, a buyer came down from the far north and bought them as full bodies. The school makes close to $5k out of it each year.

Zapped a half dozen of these squawking mongrels with the 22-250 on Sunday, first time firing a rifle since I broke this bloody shoulder. Shooting one armed was a hell of a lot harder than I thought it would be. So was guessing holdover without the rangefinder.

@MikeB @akaroa1 might be able to give you some pointers on one handed shooting!

you dont need holdover with a 22-250

You do if you walk far enough away from them !


Good on you MikeB.
I had to change over and shoot right handed for a couple of months after I had my left shoulder re built. Way better than not shooting at all though.
Back to shooting from the left now.

Best therapy you can have is that desire to be back out hunting.

1x magpie at a close 124yds , any time its not raining in winter is a good day out , as long as you are not working it .

3x magpies close range with 22 hornet , 48, 104-105 yds .

Nice day out , considering its winter .

Perfect for the job

One plover, last day tomorrow with the shotty on the quad then the ole .22 will come out on the job

Shot a rabbit, a hare and a Turkey over the weekend.

Usually use CCI subs in the .22 but tried some CCI Stingers without scope adjustment and the change in ammo made it 3 inches high at 50 yards. Want to try some of the CCI Velocitor if I can find it.

Not quite a peacock with an AR15 but one more cat that won't be back to chew on possum carcasses

@mkm that cat looks in really good nick!
