Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

If you had have picked it up by the tail you probably would have only swung its head into the trunk of the tree. At least the back of the axe is a step up from that. Not a very big one I'll admit but a step up nonetheless.

Had the dogs with me...was actually looking at a bit of blood sport...I had no intention of holding on any longer than necessary...of course had I stuffed it up I would have had some cool shredded arm photos.

I have watched a mate pick them up by the tail and swing them into something hard but I have never been on to give it a whirl.

When trapping I take any wet ones home alive to dry out...can be fun trying to get several in a sack together and then when tying on the horse one has to be careful that there is a blanket between their claws and the horse.

I have been out of action for a week. When it comes to feral cats in a haybarn I are usually fairly lenient as they keep the mouse population down. But this morning when a cat ran up the hay and was disappearing into a hole I grabbed my shotty of the quad rack and loaded and fired as he was making a retreat. Couldn't see him in the gap after the shot so put a standard in the hole and pulled the fecker out.

A bit of pussy this early in the day Dundee. You are legend. Are you better now?

I used to do it all the time in the bush, you give the go ahead to pull a drag out an ol' jacko comes hooning out

My funniest yet, and I may have posted already but worth repeating was when I worked at a camp ground, I was on the late night lock up. I closed the big double gates to the rear courtyard of the office, as I picked up the 4'ba'2 to lock the 2 gates together I noticed a koon on the fence just looking at me, a quick step in and a full baseball swing connected with the head blowing the possy off the oppisite side of the fence, straight into a cabin window with an almighty thud. The cabins occupant emerged to see me dragging a very dead possum out of the hedge under the window "Sorry mate just a bit of pest control" as I dissapeared back through the gate

Yeah England. We were out after a few bunnies but my mate bought a 243 along "just in case". We came across the second one at about 30yds just sat there scratching its arse so it got 75 grains in the mush.

Bloody excellent.

Went up the back to check the water intake, while I was there the dogs flushed a possum in the cutover...I grabbed it by the tail and thought I may as well pluck it at home...racing in third gear on the quad downhill on the forestry road, one hand on the go button and the other at arms length holding coon...I couldn't believe how a foxy can run, yap and leap to try and snatch it off me at that speed...pushed the go button a bit harder (bushhunter, we really do need to fix that exhaust) moved possum holding hand closer to the handle grip...possum latches onto gumboot and I can feel his teeth trying to bite through the rubber...I kept telling myself "watch the bloody road"...visions of newspaper headlines, 'silly ol'fart crashes quad in the Kaimai's'...never mind, I made it, just need to take it quietly for a couple of hours to recover.
