    He bolted into nearby bush so Fay was sent to find. Stupid dog must have run right past the Billy, which was very dead behind a windfall. She had nailed an unseen Kidd about twenty mtrs past it. So I got a trophy(of sorts) and a feed, for one shot.
    Good stuff Pengy.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Was trying some long shots with no luck then the man came home... Typical, grabbed my shortened (stock) Toz and head shot these two at 116yards and 90-something!



    Got myself sorted now though... Stalk approach doing the job

    75 wallabies between 2 of us for the weekend. on the way out one night, shot a possum with the 243 on the side of the road, next morning going in there was a feral cat picking the carcass, so it got the 55gr BT up its ass too.
    Nice picking the roos off on the sunny faces as they stayed out most of the day but Bloody cold overnight on the windy sides.

    Just got home from an extended weekend hunting rabbits down Napier way. Managed 636 between three of us plus a nice spiker for the freezer.

    Private. A friend's permission, but really he got it door knocking.
