    Sample pics of week away in pelorus sounds, the trees were heaving with the aussies! We were pulling them off trees by the tail shot 30 around the house one night and ran out of .22 ammo. Its amazing how much of a mess a 75gn 223 at 30m makes

    MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

    21 rabbits this afternoon. Left one of the rabbits in the paddock to collect as I came back only to find this big fella dining out . Big male, 17 HMR blew a good hole in him but still ran 40 mtrs down hill till he figured he was dead.
    Notice he still has some rabbit on his chin, chewing on Rabbit with a side dish of lead

    I'm not against shooting cats.... But wouldn't the cat help with the rabbit problem down those ways.
    I'm not really sure why wild cats are shot. Yeah they may get the odd bird but I bet rats, mice, rabbits too.

    To be honest I have watched them often stalking rabbit's while I stalk them. I have yet to see them take a large alert adult rabbit. The rabbits even run along with them almost taking the piss. I don't think they affect the population very much.

    Yeah all good. I have shot cats before, I just sometimes wonder if the cat around here effects the local rabbit population which I try to manage for dog food.
    I've seen them sit outside holes, they must get a few young ones.

    I had a pet cat who caught hares bigger than him as well as seagulls and once a hawk, killed them never ate them, never underestimate a cats kill capabilities he also only ate the heads of eels and had no tail. he was one mean killing machine for a cat

    Jeepers Greg, I feel a little cheated now. Was out doing a goat shoot yesterday in the storm and this little girl popped up.

    That said, I will be putting this one through the pizza oven door in a single piece at lunch time, and have it ready in time for dinner. The oven door definitely isn't big enough for your bad boy, so I win!
    Got 15 goats as well just to keep the freezer topped up.
