    Yeah mate, I hear ya.

    Used to live in a Bush Block that had heaps of them.

    They didnt sit still and I had never shot at them...So I made it a bit of a mission to find out where they fed... crept up on their usual spot and nailed a couple... nearly required Ghillie Suit styles and would probably need one if they are really shy.

    Little nasties feed on the ground and are hard to spot even in shortish grass... Good thing with these ones was that we seemed to nail 2 pairs as their mate hung around to get some "love" too.

    Well done.
    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

    I have been bombing them but a sniper in the neighbors house would be easier.

    Make up a quick ghillie suit for PT and send him over there under cover of darkness with orders to kill on sight but not move or come back home until all are dead or it is night time again. (Better give him some sandwiches though)
