Funny thing is I did nothing different let's hope I've finally got it worked out

spent the last couple weeks camping and got a few possums and rabbits. Smoked a rabbit for something different and it was very good.
here's a couple of odd balls for my area, i've never seen possums this colour up here before but shot two like it and a different coloured rabbit

Nice looking rabbit skin

Went for a wander up the back of the farm with TR and gadgette#3. I knocked over two with the 223 and gadgette#3 sent one round just over the head of another one. Heaps of droppings, holes and low cropped areas but not many showed themselves.

Saw a lot of pig sign. Might go for another stroll later and see if they show up.

Went for a stroll last night around the clutha river and within about 2km saw over at least 100 rabbits. the whole ground was moving. So much damage from the little feckers

Gas operated 223 with 30 round mag Nibblet

Marlin 795 with 'hundy round drum mag

Need to buy e-cat safe but so many expenses at the moment. When I get back will sort it then we can have some real fun.

Loaded up some 62gr Scirocco's for the .223 for a play.
3250fps and a quick 200 yard zero. 307 BC Pretty impressed so far.
Had a look up the back of the farm for some hares which are usually plentiful but due to the weather may have looked for drier ground as I never picked any up in the bino's.

My young fella spotted a big black back gull sitting in front of a stump out in the riverbed.
He asked if he could have a go at it so I got him to laser it as I new it was around 300. He reckoned he got 360 and I confirmed it.
He was still keen to have a go.

No wind to speak of but I was pretty sure he would miss as he has never shot further than 200yrds and 360 yards would be a mental deterrent but I dialed in the 3.8 MOA shooter app told me to.
He lined the gull up and I told him when he was ready to push the cocking piece to fire and squeeze a shot off.
I made sure he looked comfortable and left it to him, when to fire. I just got the binos on to the gull when it disappeared in a cloud of feathers.
The smart ass cycled the bolt looked back through the scope and asked if I could see the wing sticking up from the rocks in its last throws of life.
I was to busy picking my jaw up off the ground to answer him.
Goes without saying he was pretty chuffed and I was still scratching my thick skull in disbelief.
