West coast turkeys

Canadian Goose I like the breast sliced thin, marinated and flash fried. Also whole breast good marinated and cooked much like venison steak. Great done as casserole with some diced up bacon to add a bit of fat. Have not had it roasted before but might have to try it at some stage.

And I have a nephew about your age MattyP who at about 10 had a poster of Elle McPherson stuck on the ceiling above his bed, ever hopeful that it would come unstuck and fall on him.

Haha, or was it just for target practice!?!?

Decided to throw the traps out in the neighbors pine and blue gum plantation and caught a couple of possums to add to the fur collection anyone no the prices of fur ATM

Dundee will. About $120 for hand plucked at a guess.

My MIL has invited me over to their spot to eliminate some magpies. Time to put that box of No.4 that's been sitting in my safe to good use but knowing my luck I'll rock up and they won't be anywhere to be seen...

Wonder trapper the price of hand plucked fur is now $100 and the buyers aren't taking skins over summer.

i just pluck them anyway but cheers dundee

You won't regret buying an HMR. I got one of the first Rugers and been a wonderful calibre for killing rabbits and possums. Cheap to run and reliable as hell. I love the rotary mag as it sits flush under the bolt ... great for walking and quads. I hear CZ's are great value for money too. Get an HMR for sure. Keep safe in the hills.

10 or so bunnys and a couple of magpies, only kept one bunny cos most of em looked like this.

That is how the black pests in this country should look VC

not good for filling the slow cooker tho

What is with all of these black bunnies you fellah's get? I have never seen one except as a pet in a hutch and I am guessing you weren't shooting pets.

Depends on the area of course but I think the accepted average is one black in a hundred bunny's,this property used to be crawling with them(rabbits) but they are getting them right down now and the remainder are very flighty hence most were shot with 223.
saw one other black I didn't get a shot on.
Only ever shot one ginger one out of hundreds and hundreds,yet they are fairly common in other areas.

Saw three almost fully grown kittens on the side of the road on the way home,at least 10km from any house.
I pulled over and thought about getting the rifle out of the boot but the wife wasn't happy and I didn't want to be standing there with a rifle on the side of the road so they live unfortunately.

Yeh wives are funny like that. I was driving home last night with my brother in law in the back when there was a possum in the headlights. My BIL said get that bastard so I lined it up in the centre of the bonnet only to be given the don't you dare with me in the car from my missus in the front seat. The possum lives this morning.
