Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

That is the spirit haggie My eldest boy has buggered off to Abel Tasman and I know there is one in our freezer.

Should I enter me or him cause clearly he has forgotten?

And won't be back in time to enter.

Nice shooting btw

Hi Gibo
21" seams to do the job, its the first time I have used the V max in 22 mag.
The rifle is fussy to what it shoots, out of five main brands it only liked the Win super X so for it to run on these it's great.
I will say this, we tried other rifles with the same ammo and one of the worst was a Ruger 1700.00 of kit and it just didn't shoot.
To me it's what works other than, that's nice looking rifle you have there
Some of these Norinco's aren't that good in build but all the one's I know of shoot well with the Win SX

I have a norinco .22 and a 223 and they both shoot very accurately. I have the fully suppressed Jw15a and it's really good. I bought it about five years ago I guess for about $450 new, they're nearly double that now people have realised they are good shooters

Sent from my workbench

Monday arvo will be too late as entrys have to be in November

Road kill - I left this one on the side of the road a few months back - just down the road from where we are trapping - I think I will scoot round our DOC 250s tomorrow - those prizes look great

Can't believe you fellas hadn't heard of the swamp comp.....$10,000 worth of prizes there will be hunters scurrying around like ferrets tommorow.

You already know the answer to that you old bugger!!!.......good luck in the comp

Hey..

I live in North Canty and have been out shooting lots lately with all the young rabbits about this time of year.. Most other evenings I head out just before sunset and stalk around the grape vines, it's pretty fun trying to sneak up really close to them..

Last nights effort were 1 rabbit and a hare.. Not bad for only 3 shots used although I did see one other rabbit and another 2 hares but they were all a bit far for the wee 22 zastava and I couldn't move any closer..



I have two very happy / lucky dogs at the moment with all the fresh rabbit they're getting.. I hope this wind drops down and i'll be out again later!

Tiny bunny with the 223 at 210yards.. plus another 20 of his friends.
A very pleasant afternoon, at least until the sleet and freezing wind hit.

Nowhere near as much fun as using a 22 - but still quite satisfying
Everyone of these buggars means one less vandal in the tree tops wrecking native birds nests
Got a couple of young ones this arvo - they seem to be getting smaller so maybe we have got the big ones
I whipped round a few DOC 250s and a few stoat boxes - but no luck to enter for the swamp comp - have to leave it to you DD - maybe next year
I did find a stoat box that has had a ferret scratching shit out of the timber - he can’t get through the 50mm entry hole - I will take a couple of cages back in a day or so with a fresh rabbit for bait

I did the honest thing and entered my boys ferret tail in the swamp comp.

Went out to my usual spot on Sat night. Only got two bunnies, both long range with the 22. First one at 137m and second at 172m - both were with Subs.
All the close ones were flighty - they had cut the lucerne earlier in the day. A few got the works in the mower, so I was joined by a winged hunter who was happy to pick away at their remains while I watched.
