Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Did everyone miss the opportunity to ask Dorkus about hare (hair) pie?

I finally got this guy today



Been trying to get it now for about 4 months - have numerous pictures of it but today it made the mistake I was after - Very Happy!!

A Big Tom Cat - I wished I had some scales to weigh it - bloody solid heavy critter !!

Good job kukuwai

Out with @mudgripz and @TimeRider last night to a farm we shoot regularly. The ground was pretty boggy in places so didn't get too adventurous, just had to shoot a bit further. We tallied a low 18 which was good, shows we had made a dent. For the third trip in a row I nailed a cat too.

You'd think the cat would have learned by now... only 6 lives left.

I'm hoping that this time next year all those lives will be used up.

out for a few hours on the hill today between showers with the .204

A nice Sunday arvo hunt. New Marlin 17 HMR back from gunsmiths after trigger job, 100% hit rate out to 125 mtrs.
I have a mate coming down for a week from Tauranga in 3 weeks time so it was sighting in time, don't want the wanker out shooting me
20 shot , sighting in done.

the .17 looks good @viper with fluted barrel, laminated stock, suppressor . . . what scope did you put on top

Yeah it's ok and proving to be a better shooter than I thought it would be. I am still not that happy with the trigger but I think the gun and I are still sussing each other out and getting know each other.
The scopes a shocker mate, came with the rifle, Nikko Game King 3-9 x 40...... it's got that many fucken mildots in it my eye balls shit them selves everytime I look in it.
Great air gun scope out to 40- 50 mtrs but really thick and obscure most of a rabbit at 100mtrs. Thing that pisses me off is I am still hitting fur with the bloody thing at 125 mtrs plus, can't see the rabbit, just put the huge thick black lines on it and squeeze off.
Early days yet but you know that feeling when you buy a new rifle ( like a woman ), some are instant love and you know you have a keeper, some look horny but are just dogs. And some are a little distant , don't do anything wrong and leave you thinking " might be worth putting some effort in here "
So far....it maybe worth putting some effort ( new scope ) into.

this scope might be ok as a stop gap @viper . . . seller lives in Wanaka

First game shot, with the used Cooper 6x47 Remington, I bought this winter, several others seen, but reluctant to shoot, if Cant be recovered,

yeah I got some Beaver last night, didn't look like that and it didn't have much of a pelt either.

The only beaver i get has a much better pelt than that one
