    Got 43 of these wee buggers at the weekend incl 12 to the mighty 17HMR, which is deadly headshooting under spotlight.
    Also accounted for 30odd rabbits and hares, and a wild cat.

    Only one rabbit for me this afternoon. It was a great trip though, scared more game than I care to mention and didn't even get a shot off until the end of the day. Right before it was time to go home, got myself settled in a nice spot overlooking an area favoured by rabbits, waited and waited and sure enough, bugs made an appearance. He had no idea I was there which meant that could really take my time with the shot. Got him in the back of the head and he was dead before he hit the ground. Most of my kills up to this point have been with spooked rabbits, so shots have to be taken faster and are much less satisfying.

    Dundee Magpie trap - free to a good home
    I built it to try to catch some Doves or hogs - but no luck - they just need to disturb the bottom wire and it trips - pickup near Te Puna


    I splashed out on a Magpie trap on TM - to catch doves - tried all sorts - bait and no bait - even flogged my wife’s Lladro china dove - but no luck - its bloody good on hogs though - got seven so far on my one acre section - neighbour breeds and feeds them - they come over here to shit all over my lawn - and look at themselves in the mirrors - bit of dried cat tucker - magic trap for hogs
    Also catching minors - but plenty of doves and they wont go in - any ideas please

    Certainly on time outs pest list. There are three doves that hang out around my property. I don't mind them as they started coming here after the lady where they used to live not far down the road died. I know this as I went to her place as part of the fire brigade and was first in to discover she had been dead for a number of days so I have some attachment to them actually.

    Sent from my workbench
    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.

    One of them appears to have been rather poorly assembled!
