Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Arvo shoot, eerily still and quiet , decided I would take the .17 and sit and snipe. Amazing what pops out of the grass and hill sides if you sit and watch.
Shots ranged from 80 yrds to 135 yrds. Lying in a dried out 100 year old irrigation canal watching the leaves fall off the tree's with snow above me on the Piza range...Magic
11 shot .

I found a whole lot of pics from the last couple of months when I swapped the memory card from my old phone to my new 1. Here are some critters hit with the 223!

And as always, the 17 has been pretty busy as well

And even the JW15(which is still for sale) has had some action

I went out the other day for my yearly hunt, these are a few I shot from the top of a mound

This is the next step in the process (cutting and bagging)

Here is the days kill after being put to bed, as you can see they are sleeping happily ever after

And last but not least the Pud sleeping happily with a belly full of rabbit and the knowledge he has a years supply in the freezer waiting for him, and me reflecting on a great days hunt!

Too good for the cat

Long walk today for one rabbit, but good uphillshot of 160metres with the HMR. Two plovers and two magpies, had a lot of fun with a game caller and decoy on the magpies.

I finally got around to zeroing my 17hmr today Maca. The holes in the paper were so small I could hardly bloody see them. Just as well there was a young fellah there.

Enjoy it Rushy they are a great little cartridge and cheap to run

Looking forward to a walk @Maca49 when the 17 Hornet arrives and I get down there...

Might have to join you as long as we don't walk too far. My fat ass prefers the Gator....

Got back from duck looking just in time to see @Sean hacking at a goat

Managed to bag a bit

And it wasn't Buddy

Food for the table

Jesus @Sean that looks like a horror flick

A sighting in session that turned into a good hunt that just got even better.
Nice still afternoon to sight in the new scope. A big shout out @ Gadgetman for a great scope at a great price , cheers mate it's the ducks nuts.
Sighting in went well with tight groups at 100yrds, worst was 1 inch and best just over quarter inch ( fluke but I'll take it )
155 yrds was the best shot, little 17HMR still does a surprising amount of damage at that range.
Making my way back to the car in fading light and the Bino's picked up a shape that didn't look right under a bush at 135 yrds. Watched for 5 mins and it didn't fucken blink, very hard to tell in the shadows. Scope was struggling also then it moved it 's head a fraction. Squeezed off, saw it jump up and take off.
I actually thought I had missed, walked down and it had only gone 5-6 feet, stone dead. Biggest cat to date. Bloody heavy big Tom.

another angle..big moggy
