A minor problem - must have fancied a feed of fresh rabbit meat I left for Tom



He fancied a leg of fresh rabbit I left for Tom - a pig of a decision

The myna makes an effective curtain for that opening

Bagged a couple in that same paddock I shot the hare in last night.Be 30 or so plovers and 50 magpies population is coming down slowley.

We don't have the Indian mynas out here but I see them in town which is 7k away.

I bought an hmr with the sole intention of getting rid of those bastard Plovers. I won, hmr is so good

looked at one the other day. But I didn't win lotto so the .22 is the cheapest option for me at this stage. Plovers cause the most air strikes in NZ.

yeah that's why they were taken off the protected list, "hazard to aviation" haha
the hmr has great range but when the pill hits it explodes so does more than enough damage required for birds

Just looked back on the first page of this thread.
You're still going strong @Dundee.

I did my share of pest destruction at the local areodrome but in the end I gave up as had too ring the cops when I started shooting and let them know when I had finished.

I hope @mrs dundee knows about this.

Today the walk started at tentman+ place with about a 1k walk to the killing fields.
The wind wasn’t as strong I thought, so I felt after last night I was on for some good plinking.
It wasn’t the case and with tentman+ and his friend Leica Geovid, giving the range in meters, never heard of such a thing, what are the yards I had to ask?
Well we ended the day with another eight and one plover, I kept one for another day
There will be some checking going on, the first fine day with no wind.
The shooting was not all that great with a few strays, only hope to improve on this day.
Longest shot today was just over 200 yards according to tentman+ friend Leica Geovid. Can you trust someone with a name like that?
That’s 200yrds is about 450 yards in Dundee measurement
I have that from a few here on the forum not to name anyone as Gibo is a holder of the secret service
I almost forgot the magpie which lost feathers @ forgot the range and it was in meters,
I was set for 200, next time I hope to add him to the picture line up.
First picture is one of tentman+ efforts and also the last pic.
We both agreed that even the worst days shooting was a great way to finish the day out

Hey KH - maybe you should do your testing in the wind, then on still days you could aim off like you do on windy ones now . . . .

O nice, I am putting some of this down to the spotter and his friend Leica Geovid.
It's alright no one will look at the dot in the last rabbit pic
