    Not bad sized cats busted poaching chickens. Please excuse the gore on the second photo ( well placed shot by my standards ).

    59 Wallabies and two hares tonight. Checking out a block we hadn't night shot in for ages, turned out to be full of them. A few times I'd turn the torch on a new patch, to see a cluster of 4 or 5 just looking at me.. Not too many got away though!

    Exhausting work.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Have a Waikato Striker. Better than an energy drink.

    Went and blooded the new Leupold Mark 4 I stole from @BRADS , cheers mate, mounted it on the 22-250 barrel, smoked a good number of hares. Longest shots were a pair of the big eared critters at 406 yards, dialed in 3.25moa elevation & 2 moa for the wind, the beauty of a suppressor, then proceeded to smoke 4 more in the same paddock from 260y to 330y, bloody good fun.

    I shot my first rabbit with it when I was six. Wish I had a dollar for every one since ( now 63 ), all my kids learnt to shoot with it also. One daughter has her own Lithgow single shot with standard irons and head shoots allmost all her rabbits with it.

    Took Cambo out to a farm I have access on to. It's on the flats near Rakaia. The cocky had left lots of paddocks open for us to access. No wind & hares for Africa. We simply drove in and out of them with the barrel out the window of the surf, stopped and shot up any we saw. We gave up at 15 as it was nearly 10pm and it would took a couple of hours to harvest back steaks and back legs.

    Anyone taking Cambo for a spotlight, make sure the dumbass hasn't got his scope screwed up to max magnification otherwise he can't shoot for sh1t :p

    9 wallabies and a dopey fallow this afternoon, to go with the 44 wallabies from last night. Time to sleep for a week again

    Having a play at stretching the .223 out again, with my brother dropping one at 375 yards with my rifle yesterday, followed by me rolling some at 385, 410 and 420 after some poor efforts to start with. Then just as light was falling this evening and all was quiet nearby I spotted a big fella sitting out in the distance, 550 yards away. One shot, down it goes. Extremely satisfying
