Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

67 Rabbits and 1 whopper roo in around 3 hours this evening.. 223 barrel was definitely too hot to touch for a while there. Just glad I'm not paying for the ammo!

Shot my first black bunny today too, along with a mixed white/ginger one. No pics sorry, they were on the other side of a nasty steep gully.

Shot 3 rabbits this morning, 1 last night. Sick of the bunches of them running away even at the rifle's report - even with subs. Need a suppressor. Workmate had something for his 10/22, brought it in - was for rifles that weren't threaded to fit one. Made in Nelson - looked oldish? "Kill quiet" or something? Fitted over barrel and secured with hose clamp type thing.

Anyway, didn't fit.

Seans first magpie last night with .22 rifle and tonight he bagged two



13 in this pic and we are up to 16 for the comp now.

You can get push on suppressors for non threaded rifles

Thanks, the one I described above is one of those. I will take a trip down to DPT at some point soon.

We got 17 magpies and there was one in the trap on the way too the comp.We were late so killed it on the way home. Sean Dundee got third on the maggies and was only beaten by 18 and 20 magpie count.

Cat number 7 form the neighbouring block.

Another live target has been released and shot.

Nice cat KH
A walk in the Park today - 3 possums and 4 rats - deployed another 15 Snap-E rat traps - if the bait doesn’t get them maybe the steel will
Same wattle log as Thursday and same layout - possum and rat -

Big possum was going to take the Timms with her - maybe she couldn’t see which way to go -

Another 53 rabbits and a couple of wayward wallabies for me this evening.. tiring work.

My mates poodle just loves rabbit - so did the right thing.

Out of shotgun ammo so the .22 was deployed.

5 possums, 3hedgehogs.

Spent three hours and 13,000 steps round the Park today - checked about 50 traps - got 2 lousy rats and no possums

Had a look at some traps at the farm yesterday - two hedgehogs and a possum in traps after three days - yuk - plus a rat - I am going to stop using Fenns unless I can check them next day - I put the Warrior up on a tree Kiwi-Hunter - a very serious chopper - thanks heaps for the trial

If Mr rat had the choice of a GN A24 with orange paste and a stainless steel bolt through the head -


or a DOC250 with Connovation oven died rabbit and a stainless steel chopper through the body - and they were 5m apart on a track - what would he choose - it turns out the dried rabbit pulls them every time -

Got another three tree rats today, put a eyelet on the tip of my umbrella and ran a pushbike gear cable through it, making a loop I can yank shut-combined with a few food scraps it works even better than my blowgun.
Going to batter and fry for lunch
