Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

That's some good shooting.

cheers @Nibblet . . . . near perfect conditions, very slight breeze coming from the left then swinging around and coming back from the right so no wind allowance given

stoked . . . wanted to break the 500yrd barrier this year, came a bit earlier than expected, so all smiles

your dead right there Nibblet, i try to look at my surroundings always with fresh eyes . . . for varmint shooting the place cannot be beaten, high animal numbers on big properties 10-15 minutes from home and farmers are keen to have shooters, some even supply ammo, i know i am lucky.

there is a down side . . . my gun gabinet is now bulging, i have brought 3 new varmint riflkes in the last 18 months, i am always looking at newer better scopes, don't mention how much ammo i go thru, this addiction is costing me some serious coin.

Good work fellah"

The Goat Trip

Father in Law, The Boy and Yours Truely, had a ball this evening on our thrid goat trip. Conditions were spot on with a light breaze and just as we creasted the hill a mob of goats that would make you cry. With well in excess of 20 animals we set up and ranged them. The boy got the first shot then the old men followed suit. All done and dusted we popped five (four billys and one nanny). Only took 30 minutes to get then and one minute to shoot, then ages to butcher them all. Two freezers nice and full, or will be after they have aged a bit. Great afternoon/evening out.

Man that feed cover looks good, they should be fat as!

Very good feed cover and the animals were all in very good condition. The billy was very big, I have not seen one so large before. The back straps measured much longer than my forearm. Easy 135yard shots. The lad was shooting 223, father in law 7mm08, and I bloodied my new 6.5 Creedmoor. Interestingly the 6.5 made a very clean entry and exit wound with hornady whitetail ammo. Looks like it hit the lungs and that particular animal droped instantly. The 6.5 looks like a very powerful beast.

back to the motor later for a coffee & changed over to the .204R to catch a few more who thought they were safely out of range

I haven't been posting much but hunting a lot. Rabbits , rabbits and more rabbits, 800 over Christmas break just in case @ Rossi.45 thinks I aren't working my end of the gorge
Another walk yesterday evening in 35 degree heat, farms are very dry.
This was worth a photo though, 70 mtrs, sub sonic. Crawled 10 mtrs until another sub smashed him just to make sure.
A big Tom cat with nice markings.

pictiure showing how dry the farm is . . .

Farming dust?

Great photo @rossi.45
