Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

From what I understand from Maca, the 17hmr is extremely accurate and devastating. A well placed shot at the craniocervical junction would have taken her out but good on you for passing it up.

Yep but you have to be competent with the rifle! Anywhere in the eyes good. I have never owned enough ammo or seen that many tabbits to achieve those figures. Good shooting, be some fat Hawks and gulls about!

9th magpie for this year

And a hare

Took my son out for his first taste - I did the shooting and he played faithful retriever.

Marlin mod 39 TDS 1990 manufacture 16.5" barrel.

ive been using a borrowed toz for the last 3 weeks luvly old gun and im slowly getting the hang of it
with a 3x9 22 scope but the creepy trigger and wieght with bipod and supressor is causing some pulling to the right.
bowled about 8 bunnys with it so far but missed as many more at least.
not that i was a sniper quality rifle shot in the first place

There's too much grass the buggers are harder to find

Been trying for this one for awhile now. No more plums for him or her.

By the look of that grin you have him hooked.

Shot a wee stoat with the mini14 a couple of weeks ago at my new digs. Yesterday morning, I saw another tearing after a young bunny in the back garden whilst enjoying my matoes and cheese on toast. So spent the day sourcing some traps, last night went to my local bunny block for some bait. Set the traps today (2 leg grab type with cages over them and 2 live catch ones). Can't wait to catch the cnuts as I prefer to have the qail around and keep the chook bubbys safe.

Good work mate and great shooting to nail one with a rifle! Occasionally I see a stoat or weasel near my house followed by a mad dash to grab the semiauto shotgun and a few #7 shells.

They are not keen on eating decomposing meat, so if ya rabbit bait is going off in the Central summer heat try using a fresh,unbroken chook egg. Replace it every 2 months.

10 rabbits last night, grass is so long very hard to pick up. Nice but very hot afternoon for a walk!

You need to bend over further old man. They are not that heavy Maca. Should be easy to pick up if you work on your flexibility.
