    Took the missus out night shooting on Sunday night, she held the light, I shot. Tally for 3 hours shooting was 23 possums, 12 hares, a rabbit and a nice eating red yearling. Gentlemen's hunting/shooting, all animals were shot off the quad. Nice evening out.

    Can't shoot them everything mate, shoot the "easy" ones off the bike, the "hard" ones will eventually take their place into the easy spots. I only worry about the hard ones if numbers are a bit low, then I'll start walking around and shooting them.

    I don't like shooting ones we can't retrieve either, especially since they are plucked and taken home to be fed to the dogs. Leaving them hanging in trees seems a waste to me.

    Nah, we do a bit of stuff like this together, so just another day doing sh*t.

    Ha, but she did ask "is this your idea of a romantic night out?". My reply was something like "stop waffling and focus on your spotlighting please". Haha.

    not quite today but bowled over 13 roos at the weekend with the 243. Wasn't really in a spot with loads at any time. Just got went to a mate's at the weekend and got invited out, so took my rifle along. 55gr nosler ballistic tips are the shizzle. 3960fps MV and they drop on the spot.
