Got me thinking about the best calibre for residential pigeon popping - a suppressed .17 Remington. I reckon a 25gr at around 3800 - 4000fps would be perfect!

I don’t like pigeons because they multiply so rapidly and shit on everything - but doves are even worse - they never stop cooing
What we need is one of these guys my B in law in Richmond had a shed full of doves and pigeons until this falcon turned up - he got one every day until he cleaned them out - even smart enough to wait inside their shed until they returned - then moved all round the district
Wish I could hire one to clean up the doves round here - stupid neighbour started with two - they are all over the subdivision now - only good thing is they shit all over her roof

birds of prey are super cool.

Now the paddock is mowed I'm having a field day with these and plovers

They're awesome, I shoot all the plover and leave it for them. They have the most amazing eyes, that look of pure intelligence when you try staring them down

Took a wander round the Quarry this morning and checked a few traps
Got 4 possums in sentinels, 2 possums in timms, 1 big rat in a DOC250 and one hedgepig in a stoat trap
They don’t get much bait off the sentinels - this poor buggar just got a sniff of GN orange paste

There is an extra in this, time out.
Rained hard last night Dundee, so there was not the movement, also the baits had a wash.
Hoping on a dry spell need to get the hay cut
Southland if we get two weeks here, then it's a drought, not enough water

I've been chasing water all day.Had to restart dam syphon at run off. Got float off trough as cows are keeping up with the water,will put it back on about 2200hrs tonight.

Shot one magpie today and missed a pigeon which pissed me off. Teach me for aiming at the eyes.Could of been a racing pigeon as there was only one.

I've seen you drink that much piss in a sitting
On this block the stock are drinking close to 40,000l a day, that little $900 solar pump is keeping up, best thing I ever brought, next to my blaser
I was burning through 15-20 liters of gas a week thru the little honda pump
