Could've had three more, but if I shoot them all they can't breed and then I can't eat them.
Shall concentrate on magpies and plovers.

thats a nice looking rifle mate, Im looking to get something real similar

They had to be processed to a certain level, then cooled to x temperature within so many hours, then delivered, ... Too much hassle even when we were bowling 1000+ a night.

Just popped out for 30 minutes this evening. What a great little country we live in. Now to help this kids study for exams.

Way to go Gunzrrr

My Ute got another first today - Mr Starling - Didn't see eye to eye with my Nissan - Unlike the Minor , this time I got evidence -

Yep that is dead. The bird is not smart enough to fake that

Yeah I couldn't be bothered with the work or expense, shame it wasn't as easy as it sounds in merry ol England.

We have hammered the much of the bunny covered land we shoot over, but we used to do around 30 a night once a week. A box of HMR rounds over here is £11 so there is enough there for a couple of boxes. We also sell the deer we shoot and we have bought night vision gear, lamps, callers, ammo etc. I dont think you could make a living out of it, but it helps!

Cheers, its possibly the nicest stock I've ever seen I reckon. The guy in Serious shooters said that the wood grain was nicer than that on some of the deluxe CZ which have hand picked stocks for their grain. I really want a CZ full stock in a 22.

I got another two bunnies today, and so nearly missed a 3rd one.
For the second time I shot a bunny and went a picked it up would have sworn it had died of shock. The Hornady 20gr XTP leaves no evidence of an entry wound, no exit wound, and what I imagine is a mush on the inside.

Certainly helps cover some of the cost. Dam your 17hmr ammo is cheaper than over here. Probably equivalent to £15 to £18 a box depending where you go.

I'll stick some in my hand luggage when I come over for you

That does sound like a right pain in the arse, Ive got a relly who pays me $5 a rabbit as long as it has its guts out and in the freezer by the end of the day. Which more then pays for .22 ammo

40gr vmax does the job at 150

Reloading has it's rewards

That is one buggered baby bunny.
