    And used something different to shoot the trapped one out of the sky when I released it.

    I gave it a chance when it was released but it was lights out for the maggie

    New PB of 380m, slotted a fair few at 250m - 300m. But like a real world shooter, also missed !

    Fun factor - 1000%

    Great stuff Kscott.. hard to beat that sort of shooting for a genuine challenge. Teaches you a whole lot in a short time.

    Yup. Being doing it for a few years now, go down twice a year and get some great long range shooting in. Uphill, downhill, crosswind, rocks and stones sticking into your elbows, crotch and chest.

    Went looking for Fallow, found them, are shit there they go, misty at 150m downhill of us, spotty just reflected in the mist, all I could see in scope was white fuzz.
    Got to use fog type light next time, I had a feeling there would be fallow out in the paddocks with the fog as cover.
    So hare/bunny X at 50m took direct hit to the middle and then there were 2 bits or more, I feel better now

    Not from me, as we/I didn't shoot it, I just shot on our usual farm.

    The property next door had a team on it, they pulled @350 off it, but it would've been hard work with loads of thyme growing all over it. Heard numbers were down overall, top team only had 800, worst team had only 15. It's a catch 22 situation - not too much PR because less farmers are putting their properties in so don't want too many teams applying, and less PR means less farmers want to put their properties in to it, so need less teams. The property we shoot on, the farmer pulled it from the bunny hunt a few years ago after folks decided to have a party in the woolshed. Coupled with other horror stories of broken fences and unlatched gates on other places.

    But our farmer asked if we could do another property @360 something hectares, which we obliged. Loads of hares about on that one.

    That is a shame Kscott that some dickheads ruin it for the other hunters and farm owners.

    3 mice,10 magpies since the 7th. Change live decoy tomorrow.
    Got this wasp nest under all this bush and can't bomb it as I can't get to the entrance of the nest.

    So I made a wasp trap and tied it as close to the wasps without getting stung.
