Indeed Rushy. After doing this at 75m I was busting rabbits out to 110m after my 3rd hunting trip with my wee 22. That little rifle will not be leaving the livery any time soon.

After years and years of trying while driving ..........I finally Nailed a Minor Bird with my UTE yesterday ................Grand Day.......Cheeky Bastard didn't time his movement's well this time around - And did a double sumersault backwards Splat onto the asphalt well executed off the bumper at 100km - I went back to look for the body but could find no evidence but for a handful of feathers - Im claim the F&*ker any way.........

Ha .. that reminds me of years ago with my dad coming home from Tarata & a Hawk got its talons hooked in a possum it was feeding on in the road - It managed to get some elevation with a bit of the possum dragging it down a bit and ended up getting tangled in the roof racks of dads triumph TC - The flippen thing went nato flappin and squawking I wanted to shoot it off the roof with the 410 but dad wasn't keen on that - we ended up knocking it out with a large stick and left him flapping with his possum feed on the side of the road - friken funny at the time ......

I do that with the van in the low parking buildings. I know it doesn't help but it makes me feel like I'm trying.

Yesterday I was slinging a bit of lead at some squeakers and when I came home I noticed a ton of shit along the fence it was the smell that got my attention first so I thought I better start popping the buggers off. First for the day

Red marks where the thrush was sitting. Yellow marks the head which is under and a bit forward of the red mark then the 2 wings are the other 2 yellow dots. The blue marks the trail of feathers.

I bought my better half a new air rifle yesterday (much to her delight as one can imagine), as we have a booming rabbit population where we live,, and have just planted a heap of vege plants. Even tho we live in a rural area, we still have neighbours only a hundred or so metres away, so I didn't think it would be wise to be slinging .22 or .22WMR pills around at the bunnies (noise, ricochets, etc.) Anyway, got a great deal from Shooters World on a Norica .177 cal 1000fps air rifle.

Took it home, sighted it in and mucked around shooting targets practicing with the open sights until dusk. My parents and sister were visiting so had a wee shooting competition...which was great. Then stalked about the section checking out the rabbit-y looking spots. Ended up shooting two last night, then another one this morning. Pretty stoked with the killing power of the air rifle...its been years since I've shot my old one that I wore out as a kid. Heaps of fun!

Video is shit when zoomed in like that sorry. Here's my set-up

Love it Toby! Thats bogan as!

Who da man Toby?
