    Got asked to clear some rabbits from a friend’s lawn. They had eight resident rabbits. Drove up to their place, shot six of them from the deck. Went in for a cup of tea. Came back out and got the other two. Now that’s efficient pest control!

    Gees tried that for a mate last week.
    Said heaps of rabbits, over there.
    Turn up, have a look, nothing. Have a feed, have a look, nothing. Put the gun away, have a drink or 3, head for a piss, look out the window, bloody rabbits........

    No luck at all. Good night though

    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

    Did some clearing up around the back yard yesterday. When i was there I could hear magpies but didnt really pay much attention to how many we had around the place in the past. So I had a quick count up and saw we had over 20 magpies flying around out there so i decided to see how many i could take out .... I went back and sat in the garage with the window half open with the blinds closed and waited for one to land in the paddock i guessed him to be around 40 meters out. The wind was blowing hard and i knew it was going to be tricky to to hit him where i wanted. I loaded my Crosman .22 air rifle which I have gas-rammed and made a nice two stage trigger for, very quietly moved the blinds to the side and poked my gun out of the window. Then I aimed to hit it on or around the tail area. I lined him up and took the shot and bingo...exactly where i wanted to hit him. He flapped around on the grass and made a lot of noise and before you knew it there was a heap of magpies there getting in on the action. I managed to get 6 in total before the rest flew away. The best part about this is the birds have no idea where or who i was and have no idea what hit them so i can take another crack at them another day. Thats the beauty of hunting with a super quiet air rifle
