Hmmm nice big forest in the back ground.Ne game.?
Went out a bit earlier today and did some work getting sighted in and used to shooting through the Guide TS450. Got to a point where I was pretty happy so went for a walk to test it out.

One of the ones from last night had a load of babies on board, and two of tonight's were nursing mothers, so I'm counting another couple dozen that won't go on to eat sheep food :thumbsup:
Is the guide a full time scope?
Man this dog is a softcock. Show him a cold wet deck, he'll turn right around and go back inside.
Come have your photo taken with dead birds, I said.
No.
Yes.
Why?
Just bloody do it, dog.
[Barely audible insult]
Good dog.
Great to find a box of ammo that works. These birds were shot at 90m-98m, using a couple of decoy birds stood up with wire and an occasional squawk from the Bluetooth speaker. The ammo was a random box of the CCI subs that have been misbehaving so badly. This 50 box only had two go supersonic, the rest were fine. There's another dozen or more birds out there, hung up in the pines or plucked, scoffed by the hawks, or destroyed by this stupid mutt's sister, who isn't at all scared of the cold rain. She will not, however, have her photo taken thank you very much.

Got this little one near the house with a .22 airgun. Bird screaming gave it away. You can really hear the desperate chilling screams of the birds when possums are near :XD:
This magpie had been terrorizing our free range chicken and taken some of their chicks. Finally put it down today, at 70yards. Another one to go.

Enjoyable bunny shoot last night out on farm by Birdlings Flat - on way to Akaroa.
Lovely calm evening - real pleasure to be out actually. We were spotlighting from the truck with maxtochs - team of 4 including @gadgetman with his 22WMR. A very pleasant 4 hour wander across 2000 acres during which we popped 55 hares and rabbits. A fine evening and boys came home with smiles. :) Reminds us why we hunt..
Dinner:
