just been and got some dog food
Not much posting as I have being doing a lot of shooting, young fella down from Tauranga for Christmas and we have shot 634 rabbits in to weeks including 2 wild pigs with the .22s using sub sonic ammo.
A very cool father / son moment and a table fill of wild pork.
Here's a nice ginger , i have also shot 3 black rabbits lately as well.
Had a NYE look with Doc Watson. Was a little windy but managed to find this one hiding in the bushes.
Missed with the first Shot, but the second .22 round found it's Mark.
Decided to work off some of the xmas food with a walk over a friends farm (that I havent visited in some time). Also the first time using red dot in the field. Total tally was 2 rabbits, 3 hares and 4 possums. Due to no magnification a couple of possums got away while I was confirming they wernt Moreporks (they were on 2 occasions).
Opportunity knocked, so I answered the door. Turned out to be a skinny sow. Processed it into thirds and will try out the pizza oven in slow cook mode.
First for 2018
Last shoot on the farm with this owner, sold it! Fitting end, after taking 100s of rabbits and Hares off it over the past few years I saw zilch of anything on Saturday. Regular hunting has certainly changed pest numbers, with a few cats, magpies, ducks and plovers along the way. Took my 204 for the tramp, manger a few pine cones at 200 metres, great little cartridge.
And later, back at the Lake, awesome evening, lake very warm and mill pond
Boom, cough,cough,cough
Got my first stoat
A set of GT radials at 80ks are quite effective
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
