Coccidiosis
Baked beans flavoured rabbit?
13 Pukeko eggs in one nest, new PB for me beating my last PB by 1. Interesting thing with this one was 2 nests 50m each side with 5 in each as well so a total of 23 crushed, all along one edge of a Maize field. Definitely the right time to head out and check for nests!

? What speed are you pushing the hades, Mintie
So I decided stuff the paper equations, the best way to check number of mildots on a hares head for distance was to nail on to a post and set it at differnt ranges then record the data.
Went to get hare left for hawks, nope way to far gone.
So any way one pops up at dam 160m away. Mid arvo.
Mates son was visiting and has his own arsnel at house, so I asked if he wanted to shoot as he vary rarely has time these days.
So he grabbed the .22 lr then changed his mind for the 243.
This was the resault

Which when I walked down didn't impress me as I wanted the head then I turned it over.
Unbelievable, awsome human shot and I got to measure the mildots off on scope from 10m to 70m

My first Darwin award winner in pest shooting.
After two ricochet off twigs next to it at 25m, 5 minutes of cat and mouse around another tree, it decided it would be a good idea to fly to the front of tree and screech at me??
1322 crosman. hades 15.89gr
10m away 10ft up

Another victim for the HW95.
Successful little shoot tonight on farm near Christchurch. Covered quite a wide area spotlighting from the Cruiser. Not easy with bunnies quite flighty - often only giving couple of seconds pause for a shot. But boys did well and shot 72 hares and rabbits in about 3.5 hours. 223s doing the damage with shots from 40m to about 150m in the 25-50k wind. Great little caliber. All three 223s using the Fiocchi 55gr SP - excellent factory load
A good productive evening. Next stop 2 days in Tekapo....Mmmmmm..
.243 with Precision Hunter factory ammo at 100m. I didn't expect the results to be quite so drastic. At $4 a round not cheap but other ammo shoots better and only have a few left.

Ouch.
Be perfect for the cat trap.
They would be able to resist it.
Scoped this one out at 80 yards.bit small to fill my belly so Bo got a treat.

Rabbit for supper!
Got my first rabbit today. I often see them in the same scrub area and so when I walked over to it a rabbit shot out past me so I popped it with the 12ga. Our place is in northern Waikato so we don't have many rabbits to shoot. As soon as I was back at the cottage one was sitting 30m from the deck and didn't move for the next 20 mins. What are the chances I see this after I get my first rabbit, that I have been after for so long!
I ignored natural instinct and decided to leave it for my younger brother to bowl over later.
