    You have some work to do then Dundee. Get into your gillie suit and lay out in the paddock all day until you have shot every one of the dispicable Aussies

    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

    Couple of rabbits last night, that have been digging up the neighbour's lawn.

    The smaller of the two was shot at a distance of 3 metres, after it lunged around a corner at me, before rearing up on its hind legs in an attempt to crush me with its paws. Fierce beast that it was.

    Following the shot, I could hear a horde of 10,000 more stampeding towards me, but I bravely stood my ground and peeked around the corner. Turns out it was just one heavy-footed beast stomping around, so I shot him too.

    You were lucky to come out in one piece. No wonder the 'Tussock Jumpers' were so hard to beat. They must've practiced on the bunnies

    It's no wonder some people prefer to use dangerous-game rifles for rabbit infestations..

    They just wait for the Holden to drive away, and they'll be in feasting. One will be on lookout for the telltale cloud of dust and sound the alarm. Cunning baskets them maggies
