    Another day, another possum in the Timms. Dundee explain this for me. I have two Timms traps, one red and one yellow. I have never caught anything in the red one. Doesn't matter where I put it (even if it is right next to the yellow one). Why is that? And don't say because the Possums up my way prefer yellow as I just won't believe that.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Rushy its because red means stop,so they just stop and look. Yellow means you can go. Bloody hell if you had a green one that means go you would have a pile of fur or a swamp full of fat eels.

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Knocked over a couple of nice young rabbits earlier with gadgette #3, not much out but can see where they will probably be later on. Fair bit of rain been coming down.

    Knocked over a few hares this arvo. Boy I'm loving being on holiday. From day to day I'm either fishing or I'm hunting and it's choice!

    This little guy got one through the throat with the HMR. I missed the first time (wind was howling, 150m away with about 4" wind drift) but he stood up and let me have a second shot (I thought that was pretty nice of him). He did the old HMR backflip.

    While taking a crack at a running hare about 150 meters away I looked to my left and saw a hare about 20m away scratching his ears with his back leg. In open country a suppressed 17HMR is dead silent. I sent one through his head to have his mate break from cover and run. All my off hand practise with the 22 has really helped, because he paused at 150 yards (lasered after) which was long enough for me to miss once, adjust for about 6" of wind and send another bullet into his boiler room.
