Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Bowled a couple of turkeys and goats with the Winchester deer season ammo in .243 It makes a big hole...Both these were shot at 140yds

Two nights with the young fella.

6 shot with the .30/30 subsonic 197grn. cast - the meat is a bit of a treat for a couple of Indian workmates & it gets me out for an afternoon on my day off

Dude, you make sure to ask for some of that curry!!

And ya better hurry

is there anything better to shoot off . . longest shot 202yds

Dude... Your photos... I wish we had some furry critters to blast from range up here. Mainly turkeys and goat only around until spring when the hares are everywhere. We have a trip planned to Alexandra later in the year. I'll drop you a message.

cheers mate . . . its (small) target rich around here alright in the most amazing country, winter not so much tho . . . part of the attraction of moving here 12 months ago from the Coast was to go seriously Varminting, good excuse to buy more rifles n gear, upskill - like yourself i was shooting mainly Hares, Goats and the occasional Red so i know where your coming from.

are you coming down Central to varmint shoot ?

Caught ratticus here in the chicken coop this afternoon. He thought he could hide under some long grass..
(it's not spiked here, just lying on top of the forks)

We may be there for work around November. I have a couple of mates mad keen to get there and spend some time over a Warren or two. We keep saying "soon".... Will have to do it one day!!

Cool old fork. Looks like something a gladiator would skewer a christian with.
Here's my weapon of choice for rats. There's one there.

Yes do tell. It looks like it was made back when tools were made by tool makes. It's modern replacement wouldn't last like that appears to have.

I don't have any further history on it, although I suspect it may have come from my great uncle's farm when he sold up in the late 90's.. Pretty well indestructible alright, and agreed that it looks a little more like a gladiator weapon to be thrown, rather than used as a tool. Solid 5ft handle is useful for sure.

Looks like something Russel Crowe would use for flounder spearing

I run 6 Doc250s and a few cages round the farm and the Park so I like to keep fresh bunny in them for lure - they don’t keep still long enough for me to give them a Unique experience @viper - and I often don’t get to the block until mid-morning when they have gone back to their holes they dig all over the place
So I have a simple solution - (like a rat up a drainpipe - nah - a rabbit up a drainpipe) - I put a Fenn6 outside a 150mm Novaflow with a piece of 200*50 timber over the top of the trap - next time I turn up - another fresh bunny - drop the guts and 8 hits with a sharp axe - perfect size bunny pieces complete with furry covers for the next feral cat or stoat - generally head shots with the Fenn - perfect - so long as it is not raining
