Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

A good tool in the kit, nothing stays hidden for long.
Then you know where and what to kill

Is anyone having success using standard Timms traps on cats?
I had been told they wouldn’t put their head in the keyhole shaped hole - would have to make it a larger square
I put a Timms beside a rabbit hole recently where I could see cat paw marks in the fresh dirt - I used a sachet of Whiskers cat tucker on the rod - he got caught but pulled the trap pins out, dragged the box down the bank and escaped - so assumed I may have got his leg - changed to a cage but he didn’t come back
I have a cat problem where I am trapping - but the ladies don’t like me caging pussy - they won’t know if I kill trap them

Never caught a pussy in the Timms trap. Got cage trap set at pond.

Shot this bugger eating all my green grass.

In one eye and out the other

Nice shot Dundee

personally i found the 20 grainers to pencil through a bit and had that many magpies etc get hit in the engine yet fly off and die mid air it wasnt funny, hares shot and run around like being hit with 22. Hence why i sold them. I know @Happy likes the 20 grainer but wasn't for me. I tried a brick of them as well

The rest just dropped no prob it was the 10 metre shots that I had a prob with. The hollow noses seem to be more stable and accurate over the 100 - 150 metre zone I was shooting in today. The Remington vmax seem to be bloody hopeless for accuracy and I've had a few misfires with new ammo, the Hornady amax seems to be much better. Not unhappy with the hollow nose, just never seen a rabbit drop its guts and leave! More heads shots huh!

never tried remington but remington anything is usually crap these days. I just use the hornday stuff or CCI, it seems to be the same. Good enough accuracy and sure as hell plops them on the spot!

I've just been trying to snipe a few at longer Rangers and the hollows seemed on the range to be more accurate. The Hornsby vac certainly does some damage. I need to bench rest a bit more at the range, my last two trips have been a hour max each time. Still bangs an inch at 100 metres off the bi pod. Seriously thinking I'll take the bi bop off and lighten the load and jut use the shooting sticks I bought, they are awesome to shoot off sitting!

Mine just drop dead instantly Never seen that either . Was at the beach with the rest of NZ or would have grabbed that ammo

I threw a rock at a wallaby from about 3m tonight just as it bolted.. Think I clipped it, so does that count?

I'll sell it to you. Nope

Time out I do know of a guy who has caught quite a few cats (30 odd) in timms traps, they are all feral cats, may be because they are hungrier they will stick their heads in, he usually uses hare meat
