    Another 5 tree rats tonight. Must have pulled close to 40 this winter from taking the dog out for a walk around the paddocks. Good pocket money for the kids. Bit of star anise, cloves and cinnamon drew a few more out from deeper in the bush this week. Joey's starting to put on the size now too.

    Bow shot one through the head at 20m the other night. Happy with that.

    Not the biggest critter, but she's happy. Still hasn't worked out what to do with them so drops at my feet and I gotta stomp on the buggers.

    A couple of young ones. Good work.
    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

    Got about 200 magpies in one big flock following the calfing cows most of the magpies r young. Rather get an old one than 2 young magpies. Them old ones r smart buggers

    Shot this ole bird at the house. I was trying to sleep off a migraine with the fag calling his friends for a fight.so grabbed the crosman quest 1000 177 that I had put a new spring in it a week ago the old one had broken twice. So I put me flash pellet in it and put one in his chest at 40 meaters. So happy to get a old bird

    You have broken two springs? the most common cause of spring breakage is leaving your gun cocked for too long. on another note i have gas rams for these which will drop pretty much straight in and you will never suffer from a broken spring again and you wont lose power like the springs do over time...oh and nice shot by the way

    Well several months of walking the dog in the evenings has paid off. With a bommyknocker for the possums, I managed to collect enough fur to trade it up to a Svord Von Tempsky bowie as well as pay my teen boy his dues. I like free stuff.

    Went out to turn the lights off in the woodshed last night and found these two. Add to the fur fund for some new toys a some stage.

    Thanks mrs Dundee - name is Cruz - sadly we have just realised he has hip dysplasia - one side quite bad - he is only seven - probably wont make old bones - he is a heavy lift in and out of the Cruiser as I try to stop the jarring

    Hell hound caught, killed and ate a baby bunny on our afternoon stroll.
    Got growled at while out for an evening leg stretch, so replied with a 30g v max, pretty explosive on critters
    I was a bit saddened to see the possum had a joey on board, so dispatched that with the knife.
