Fuck your memory's shit, you must have been a bout 20 in 37?

took my old Stirling semi out for a walk yesterday, bought it brand new 40 yrs ago for $28 from Allan Millers in Dunedin the day i got my license . . . haven't used it in years, gave the stock a tart up and put it away untill yesterday.
no binos, no rangefinder, just walk n shoot, mostly standing at close range with multiple targets . . . made that extra bit special with my sons company



and just to Finnish the day . . . Rabbit n the slow cooker waiting for us n a cold beer . . priceless

Hell hound indicated that something was close by, but not in her usual " oi Dad, theres a possum up the tree" kind of way. Oh well, best take a look anyway or I wont get any sleep.
She indicated up a teatree on the driveway, not 30 yards from the house, and when I lit the culprit up, there was big black feral tom looking back at. I introduced him to Mr Vmax, as it would be rude not to
Got to say, I have never seen blood pour down from a tree like that before. Didn't take a pic as too messy, but you get the idea from the state of the dog who was sitting a bit too close

I reckon it is the same moggy I have been trying to nail for the last few months, and quite likely the cause of the disappearing Weka chicks

Gareth thanks you Pengy.

It's amazing how a dog can give different indications for different animals, not sure if you have done much training but mine did it with no 'hunting' training at all

No training at all. She just wants to climb the tree and kill the coon

My dog was a rescue, and the previous owner in Hastings had tried to get her going on pigs, but reckoned she wasn't up to the job. He also hunted deer, but never said if she had any specific training for it.
I have found that she is happy to chase and kill bunnys and hares(very rare). She indicates on goats with a pretty solid point. Ignores Weka, Quail , Pheasant, but knows they are there. She even shares a bone with the Weka.
Very stock wary, including chooks.
We are working on her telling me there is a deer around, and me understanding what she is telling me , although she has chased a couple.
There are plenty of pigs on my home block, but she doesn't seem too interested in them, which is good as far as I am concerned. I prefer to shoot pigs rather than dog them.

The best solid point she has given so far, turned out to be a Hedgehog

should have bought two of them Pengy

That's the best bit Maca, she was free to a good home or was going to be shot


The young guy in Hastings went by the name of Hamish. Someone here may know him.
