    Makes you an honourary MAF border ranger !

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Yeah mate....the aircraft sit on the ground in phoenix for long hours over night,the local scorpions get very active,we don’t find them on a regular basis,but the MTX boys reckon they find them all the time.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    i will change over to the rimfires and get stuck into these little buggers . . . another population explosion, been waiting for it and here it is again.

    the farmer gave me 2 X 500 round bricks which is a great help

    Folks caught a second gnarly ferret this morning. The pair have torn the heads of four chickens in the last ten days. Not sure how to post the video

    Yeah we are over run with little rabbits also, 105 shot last weekend and they are still everywhere. All .22 shooting with subs as even the 17 HMR is to expensive to run on them.
    Man they are small at 80 mtrs plus
