    Got my first rock pigeon today, went out with the air rifle and popped it off the power lines at a farmer friend's house. He was complaining cause they poop all over his stuff so I said I would help out. Forgot to take a pic in the field but here's how it looks now:

    Hopefully its delicious!

    Update: It was delicious, though will definitely just be breasting them in future as it is just a morsel and pretty much no meat on the limbs

    Bowled over a bunny tonight running a twenty million grain projectile at about 55 fps. No picture, but judging from the crunch I felt, it won't be much good for anything but unpleasant soup.

    I never bowled over anything today - they were all squashed - I took a two hour wander around the top of the Park today - a week since I was there last
    About twenty Snap-E traps, three Doc250s and ten Sentinels
    Two rats in the Doc250s - nearly threw up my breakfast on one - shit they get messy with six kill bars through them a week back - seems that when a rat has been in a Doc250 - a lot of their mates come back to check out the smell - a bit mean as I am using some old Erayz rabbit blocks - need to put an egg in next trip
    Five rats in Snap-Es - all with blue stuff
    Found a Sentinel that was tripped - a very lucky possum to escape from that - only the second one I have seen with fur on the kill bar
    A few sample pics - I thought I was getting on top of them - but not yet

    Seems like this blue stuff is irresistible - this trap up the Park has been dormant for the last couple of months with just apple - but it used to be highly productive on the edge of a gully
    My Mate Bill on “South Head Pest Control” (FB) has been telling me to slosh blue stuff over baits and traps
    So on Tuesday - I cleaned out the last of a large tube of blue stuff - I was up there today laying out more traps - so checked out the red and blue Timms - bingo
    Cruz disappeared long before I got there so I knew I had something - rat or possum - he dragged it out of the Timms and then we had a session of chuck and fetch - he loves it - until he gets a claw in his face
    I admit - the blue was a bit overdone - but when I am desperate - I will try anything
