Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Looks like the cage works well for magpies Dundee
Found your home made trap somewhere else - looks simple and lethal - No 8 wire and gravity looks pretty effective - your magpie kill numbers are amazing
We have a plague of mynas, doves and hedgehogs at home - I have a cage set and get the odd HH but the birds are too smart
I am going to build your frame/netting trap for the back yard
Didn’t know that you got kicked from over there

Two juvenile hares

.another 3 to dump today cant walk on my back lawn for the bloody roo shit.counted 50 roo other night.

Nice bike Dundee - just remember a simple rule - shit on - wash it off - every time
That way it will look like my Red after 20 years
Keep an eye on him Mrs Dundee

I will take all royalties

here is a crap photo of one of the goats I shot last days off , its in shadow at 4pm today so in fading light etc , thru spotting scope at 20x , range approx 200 yds .



The spotting scope is very good , however I am not at taking photos with a digital camera thru it .

Whats that noise the Mrs said last night? Bloody possum havnt seen one of the feckers in 7 years, so out to the orchard in light rain with spotlight and 22 shot him ok but didn't fall out of the tree till morning. On the way to the dump found the little fella
Then this avo his dad put in an appearance big mistake.

Ok this may look like a nights work but it was only 4 minuets?! My mate timed it...
8 of them in one tree, they had stripped it bare so no cover from the hail of .22 and .17 cal projectiles. It was a bit like a firing squad with only 2 rifles. For 4 hours work that night we had 32 confirmed Possums and another 5 odd likely hung up in branches waiting for the Hawkes.

Just one goat with the 308 AW , range was 397m , spotter on 20x , & 2x magpies with 22 hornet yesterday .

25 ish bunnies with the 223.. good to get out again, had been a month since I last shot a rabbit

Wasps, feckin wasps.
I was cutting some gorse regrowth with a scrub cutter and got attacked and stung several times before I realised what was going on so I bailed pronto and composed myself. Watched where they were returning to so I could get an idea of where their nest may be. I have been watching wasps here lately as there have been big numbers around. I walked down the paddock and was met by the kids so played with them for a while and noticed a wasp nest on a strainer post.
Went out tonight, the wasps nest on the post was the size of the palm of my large hand so I reckon there were around sixty the met a poisoned end by fly spray.
I then went up to search for the other ones that attacked me and found an in ground nest which got a couple litres of petrol and the entrance caved in.

We got shit loads of the buzzing pests here and haven't fount the nest yet.The one up at the olds place that I bombed is alive again.

Got these dropped off for dog tucker

Then went for a spotlight on the dairy unit and only one was seen.

Got Sean onto a hedge bacon that he dispatched

Bugger all pests up here,so we headed for the run off block and the ground is frozen and nothing down there.
I think the pest control must be working
