    Lets play spot the dead goat in this picture, 1970s “Spot the Ball” style. You can draw circles around them and post it off for a crap prize if you like. Clue: there are four.



    Lots of fun taking down the goaty pestulence. Took all day to find them and a helluva lot of up the hill, down the hill, up the damned hill, back down... again... and again.... but found them in the end.

    Soooo many deer around, not interested in deer this time round though, can’t even fit a loaf of bread in the freezer at the moment. They ain’t going anywhere...

    After the first salvo, the rest of the mob popped out of the native at a tad over 500m, took two of them out at 530 and 540m with the Creedmoor, always satisfying especially with a bit of wind about.



    Still some more to remove, will be after them tomorrow with the .243, a bit of closer-in action I think, now I know where they are.

    The box of beer would look more valuable than that "carefully maintained" rifle..

    Ah....Maybe Im a bit out of touch....I used to get around 12-15 possums per kilo but only plucked basically the outside as the buyer didnt want any tail or belly hair at that time.

    Gday you mob, haven’t posted much for a couple of years, been busting a few crows lately trying to keep them off this years lambs.







    Brno601 in 22-250ai 50gn zmax at 3800fps





    Zastava 20-222 32gn max at 3950fps



    Zastava 222 50gn max at 3390fps

    Just a few, various ranges from under 100 yds to 380 odd, they give a very satisfying WOP

    Been tossing out skins and entrails from rabbits for a couple days and the bait station is now self sufficient curtesy of my 223 ackley mounted on the deck ~150 yards away. Vmax 53s spreading some white love on the hill.
