Yeh the bugger called it that day at Twin Springs.

I saw an amazing post on Facebook yesterday - a friend (Bill Griffiths) up on the South Head of the Kaipara Harbour was driving down Wilson Road and spotted five ferrets that had been run over by a vehicle - he gathered them up and took a picture of them and posted on the “South Head Pest Control” group on Facebook - seems they were running down the middle of the road - silly buggars
Not sure if you can access the group which is a closed group but they will be happy to have new members dealing to Pesties
Bill is an amazing trapper and his wife has just posted a record of his recent trap results - 416 critters

longest shot of the evening . . .



took off the 4.5-14 Leupold in low rings and put a 6.5-20 LR Leupold on top today in high rings - trying out a new system, the idea being to raise the scope so that i can adjust the check rest and butt higher to get the shoulder closer to the bore line than with low rings, who knows, maybe of some benefit . . .

First time night shooting for rabbits and it was pretty successful. Few mates went out on a friends farm and managed 16 Hares, 1 Rabbit, 1 Possum and 2 Hedgehogs

Following on from my previous post... was super impressed with the Maxtoch torch mounted to the .22. Just need to sort out better batteries as some of them (Trustfire) must be buggered. Some worked well enough to last the night though.

A nother one 4 da year

Silly wee hog - looks like he was going for the blue stuff

A lot to be said for a well set up 22 rimfire. Very underrated by some, but it takes good rifleman skills to use at long range. Awesome set up

Had a great day out yesterday, 4 bunnies. Usually only get 2 where I hunt. I think I was doing one of them a favour, his knees were arthritic and he would have been in a lot of pain. Hopefully he's still edible!

21 shot plus 2 stoats.Sitting quietly I watched two of them mucking around with rabbits, interesting to watch. Rabbits in the open didn't seem that bothered, I presume the action occurs under ground.
Anyway shot one at 60mtrs that wiggled down a burrow but was well tagged so he's toast . Closed up to 40 mtrs and this fella came casually wandering out of a hole.
Must have been tired hunting Wabbit's all night so I put him to sleep next to the mighty Norinco.....permanently.

Winchester rounds are performing well, run very dirty but are effective.
