Got out and about with the old man this afternoon. Managed to bag 4 bunnies between the two of us. @Tentman you will be pleased to hear that the new owner of the RART managed to get some first blood with the rifle.

Nice. Well done guys, awesome when a plan comes off!
The lads and I hiked to the pinnacles (coromandel) yesterday. We saw this fella on the deck of the hut so I chased it with my knife up a tree, threw a few items up the tree to get it to come down. I eventually got it low enough to club it in the head and out of the tree (humanely) with a stick. That made for the second possum in 24 hours after I shot one through my bedroom window the night before.
Location: Pinnacles
Calibre: Stick

What's the state of the pinincals hut these days and the tracks
Last time I was up there, they had just put gas in it and done the hut up.
We should almost make the Location and Calibre compulsory for this thread.Quote:

1x Fallow
7x goats
7x hares
1x rabbit
The hares were great fun in the spotlight, mostly inside 60 metres. This morning I let rip on a mob of 6 goats and took them all - after taking out the two nannys the kids stayed put in a good shooting position. Shot at approx 120m

Goats with all my current centrefires from the last few months 223,303,308
I reckon there's more goats in marlborough than king country, every time I go out I'm tripping over them
Have been doing my part to clear them out while feeding the dogs at the same time but if anyone around here is struggling to find any stinkies I can point you in the right direction
This arvo….hit n miss ratio pretty average….
Two plovers n a magpie….
