I started keeping a talley on the dairy farm years ago was bloody interesting to see how many were shot. Shifted trap to another block so I just mark it off after each hit.

One pussy late this arvo,headshot

Night 2 of shooting:



Had to work a bit harder for them tonight, but added 63 roos, 2 possums, 1 cat to the tally.

Sent a text with the tally to the owner, only to get a text back "oh #!&# you didn't shoot walter did you !!!"
Phone call 5 minutes later consisted of me accusing him of pulling my leg and him then dissolving into laughter.


Had a bit of a hand to hand deathmatch with momma possum while baby looked on though.. If you decide to knock a live possum out of a tree with a branch and may suddenly find yourself holding it at arms length with your rifle several metres away - it's a good idea to have a backup plan. In this case my maxtoch torch saved the day


Now I'm off to sleep for a week..

Bloody good work StrikerNZ

Knocked some goats up at the Bermuda Triangle with Barefoot and Rambo6mmrem

This weekend a mouse,2 magpies one of witch had a water retrieve and 2 plovers.

Spent about 4 hours yesterday trying to knock over some of the many magpies on a property I shoot. Long story short, started taking pot shots at 150m with the .22 because I couldn't get any closer than that or they would bugger off....needless to say, none were hit at that distance They must have bloody good eyesight....I even had to resort to the old leopard crawl at one stage. They never seem to sit still either...

Any tips for outwitting these flying - insert expletive here -

Or should I just get the bigger gun and have a slightly more expensive day of pest killing

Getting another rifle can never hurt a man but before you rush out and do that you could try a distress call tape or something sparkly to attract them to a spot.
