Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

I thought you might get a kick out of a pest you don't get to see very often. This bobcat was taken by Pawnee Josh's brother with a Tikka CTR in 260 at 298 yards using a SWFA SS 3-15 scope.

Thats one cute pussy cat...
Are they a native to your area or regarded as a pest?

9 rabbits and a sneaky hare, plus one hawk intent on making a meal out of some ducklings on the pond, should have landed on that post, it was his last!

Got these 3 around the paddock next to the house. Mrs black has been quick on many occasions to get into her hole but not this evening.
I had managed to pick off a coulpe of her little ones the other day.

What?? You didn't shoot the hawk did you? Much prefer them to pesty ducks.

Rather eat a tastey duck than a bloody scavenger and bird of prey.

No problem down here to remove the old Hawk with a permit.

Grunzter, bobcats are native to the continental US but are not really much of a pest. They are actually pretty reclusive.

Hole diggers are quicker than they used to be - went for a walk last evening and saw a couple but too quick - went back out with the light and saw a couple and got this one along with a couple of hedgepigs - went out this morning and saw a couple but too quick for me
Might split this one and put him in the DOC250 -



Not sure who bowled this pestie over yesterday - but likely he got clipped at 100kph - only ever seen two of these - both on the road and very close to us - so they are around -

time out whip the ferrets tail off for this years swamp comp.

I might go back with a sharp spade and a plastic bag - imagine he will be a bit smelly

Now if I'd had that permit on me I could have hit it on the head with it rolled up, instead he sucked a 17 hmr, my only concern is how much he looked like a bittern, oh well stiff shit, the ducks lived another day!

Managed a couple of rabbits and a couple of hares last night. Think I need to check the sighting in as I missed way more than I shot which is very unusual.

YES , it was a bit far for me std hornet , BUT its a little flatter than your chart , its a 40gr vmax at 3000 fps , my drop for 300yds is 1.5 mils , scope is a good dial up jobbie , Bushy 3-12x44 LRHS , and the goat was BEGGING for IT , so I gave it to him .

Cheers Chris

Bella. With a rabbit from a nice standing shot about 40yds.22
