Back to head shot hares now the scope has been adjusted for the new flavour of ammo.

I went to shoot another orchard this arvo, there was bugger all left after smacking a few the other night. Managed to get a couple on film

On the way home i stopped in at another property i shoot to see what was about, ended up shooting half a dozen or so there, some were a bit close for the 17 Hornet

Some dog food,got plenty of hare meat in the house freezer now.

Being laid up post back fusion surgery sucks. Not allowed to swing a rifle around due to weight and leverage.
Had to resort to the little yellow box. Big fat female that stripped the neighbours mandarin tree the night before.
Decided to skin the skull out and add it to the collection of cat skulls in the freezer which are awaiting my first attempt at cleaning and whitening for display.
Knife is the second one I ever made in 1084 with buffalo horn scales.

Quick little dusk walk around a friends lifestyle block last night, I have a permit to cull Pukes on the property for the next month so will head back out there again soon. Might take the .223 next time tho as the shots were all 120m plus across a small lake which was starting to push my comfortable limit with the old JW.

I have several properties I shoot that have problems with the blue chickens too. What's the process to get a cull permit?

Land owner has to apply to fish and game, there may or may not be a fee involved

To be honest it was super simple, Danny is right that the land owner has to apply with their details, a reason why they need to be culled and add your name and FAL # as the shooter. This permit was back in a couple of hours and at no cost. Max of 10 birds a day or 40 a week and they just ask you to report back to them on what days you hunted and the number of birds killed. My permit had no restrictions for weapons used but did mention no calling or decoying.

There is a fee (fine) if you shoot Takahe while culling Puks on certain offshore islands.....
