    They are hideously noisy little fuckers, what more reason do you need ;-)

    Out with @mudgripz and another fella tonight. I was on driving and long shots with the 223. Managed to bowl over 2 cats and a hare. Total around 18, mainly hares.

    You got it in one. If the fuckers were quiet I wouldn't feel so aggressive toward them.

    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

    I think its a north island thing.
    Most north islanders i take hunting down here in SI are always wanting to blast away at plovers !
    We have a few around but compared to paradise ducks they are no big deal down here .
    Or do they mess up your hunts like parries do ?

    They are an aggressive, and I think territorial, bird that drive off other birds with the spur on their wings. When they are about there is usually a decline in the natives about. They're are relatively recent interloper from Aussie, which probably explains the loud bit too.

    plovers are aggressive little pricks and the farm my work is on has hundreds of the fookers boosting round KEEKEEKEEKEEEing...., and maggys, so we shoot as many as we can any time we get a chance. great fun finishing work and hopping over the fence and start shooting the bastards. ohh and rabbs,hares,wild cats,etc etc

    Splitting wood with the old man and spotted a bunny in the wood pile, managed to catch it with our hands and knocked it over a log.

    No pictures unfortunately but the dogs loved it!

    Haha yesterday must have been the day for hand catching.
    I was out walking the dog when she starts barking at the base of a big old man pine tree with a split trunk.
    Next minute out pops a possum and bolts up the tree.
    No gun so just climbed the tree, grabbed it by the tail and gave it the helicopter.
    All over, more fluff for the bag
