Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Came across these little fellows under a board outside the velvet freezer today.

another windy evening . . 70+ shot
80% standing
10% kneeling
5% sitting
5% bipod
i will be pleased when lambing is over and i can get back to my usual farms with the centerfires at LR
longest shot 135yds CCI subs

Went to the outlaws for tea last night. Before tea my daughter and I shot two hares and two bunnies.



She wasn’t to sure about picking up the first one.



But rolled up her sleeves and was into it on the second, after I said stop being a girl

Quick ride after work got some ingredients for a pie.

Shot 3 possums at my girlfriend's aunts place and 1 at each of their neighbours. 5 in total. I must have shot most of them out as I got 16 the first time I was there. No pics as I forgot.

Might ask the next door farmer if he would mind if I shot any rabbits.

Living the life!

One rat this afternoon when giving the neighbour a hand around the deer shed.

Then 5 rabbits this afternoon/evening, off another neighbour's place. She's closing in on 90, and the holes they're digging on her back lawn around the clothesline are a real hazard for her. These ones are super flighty, so have to put maximum stalking effort into them.

First possum with the hmr. Hmr vs face. The skull is smashed to bits on the top as you can see from the distortion of shape.

Had a nice evening last night on the underground chickens with the K hornet.

Fired 8 shots for 7 bunnies. Tried for one at 285yrds and missed.

Using some 40gr Blitzkings that I got with the rifle. Good little bullet on rabbits and hares within 250 and light conditions. Body shots are generally a waste of time tho, too much damage.

Seen 4 reds (yearlings) when I was out and about but didn't bring my heavier bullets and wasn't keen to try and tip one over with the little Sierras.

Was cleaning the rabbits up today and as I was peeling the skin off one and I found a perfectly intact 22 projectile between the skin and ribs. No bruising so it has been there a while. Didn't appear to damage any flesh.

Bullet in pic is exactly as I found it. There was a crease where it sat and the rabbit appeared to have suffered no ill effects and was in good condition. So much for lead poisoning

Was this on one of those small game hunting areas or private land?

It's the place on public land where you can shoot shotguns and 22's.

Now admittedly,this is not your average “pestie”(as by definition of the thread),but I found him in the cockpit today and bowled him over with a size 12 boot!!!!!..
