    OK GM I'll bite! How do you get a half possum (and don't say with a shotgun or I will kick myself for missing the obvious)?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Strolling along with a mate, we both nail them at the same time. So he ended up on two and three half possums. Owner won't be too happy as the place is meant to be possum free.

    Looking forward to the next trip.

    The amount we got into them before they hit the ground I'd say lead and holes.

    Dont give me flak for not enough gun but I wanted to try some reduced 400 gr loads at only 2200 fps. 50 to 100 yds those with sharp eyes will notice I didnt even take out the heart on one.

    Got a possum by automotive means on friday night, only worth mentioning because a mate following me said I cleaned out one end of it and spun it around hard enough that it was still spinning on the road when he hit it as well. Thats teamwork for you!

    What little pesties did you bowl over today?

    118 pigeons between two of us...in Canterbury. First proper chance to test my new Xtrema. Seems to do the trick!

    Tagged along with the neighbour on his lambing beat this afternoon and he told me to bring my 22.

    2 magpies down, plus another one that'll be flying funny for the rest of his (hopefully short) life.

    They're not easy things to hit, for some reason..
