Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Went for the double-header with another trip chasing rabbits this afternoon. Covering much the same ground as yesterday, just getting a bit further into the gully-heads. Was feeling a bit slow and weak today, so better give it a rest for a few days to try and recover. Wish my body worked properly

12 rabbits and 6 roos to add to the tally.

Head of a gully at 4pm.. took this stretch very carefully.


No sun in here.


"Help me, I have fallen and I cannot get up."

Did a couple of days down south last week with friends in similar country
Awesome country, got 109 of these between us, one cat, one pig, and two deer. Brilliant.

Hell mate you are doing alright,that is only memories for me now.

Good day at the farm today
Got another bloody kitten in a cage - he liked the tin of Salmon - that’s No 2 - Mum and the rest of them are round there somewhere

Got a ferret as well in a cage - he liked the tin of Salmon as well - forgot the camera so had to shoot them and cart them back to the shed - Cruz was happy carting the pussy round

So we are both in the Swamp-comp Dundee - hope you can let me know when it starts - got it hidden in the freezer

Will let you know Time out,great results

Just a wee stroll tonight for half an hour or so. Picked up this hefty fella..



Giving the old SN6X a try on the scope mount instead of the wee C8.. I liked it.

it's surprising to me, i have shot about a dozen plover and nothing like that but they were at 150m so a lot further than the approx 60m of this victim.

bought a marlin 917v a couple of months ago. Got it cheap. The seller said it wasn't shooting straight. He had it threaded and supplie the suppressor.
Brought it home and found he'd never cleaned it - ever. And the suppressor was a GC one, that when you looked through it, the in and out holes weren't inline. Yep, you could see the rubbing marks on one side of the exit hole where the projectiles were clipping it.

So, cleaned it and got a Gunworks HMR suppressor from TM. Got some dovetail to weaver bases from US and stuck a Nikko 4-16x44 on it.

Took it to the range. Well it shoots very well. Only problem is the trigger was breaking very lightly. In fact if you cock it with empty chamber and drop the butt on the ground from 6inches, it will dry fire!

Took it out on Sat night to a local farm. 10 shots for 8 hares, out to 130m. Thing is a laser when it comes to putting down the hares.

However, two of the misses were caused by the very light trigger. Its scary.

So I whipped the scope off tonight and took it round to gunworks for some trigger beefing up. Oh, and asked him to chop the barrel another 2 inches to 19inches and re-thread.

So tonight I'm soaking the hare backsteaks, tomo night they go in the slow cooker, and on Friday night I'll make a hare and cheese pie for the kids.
