    They've just finished smashing crickets though so from my experience, that does taint the taste of the meat pretty badly.

    We go "stalking" with kids sometimes.... It's the perfect way to make sure animals go unharmed. Particularly if you have more than two in a group.

    The kids enjoyed the tracking after I messed up a shot on a pig and we spent 30 mins tracking it through the bush.

    Yeah its fun, also quite frustrating at times with the young ones, but you just have to remind yourself that these trips are all about the kids, more so than real hunting.

    They gotta start somewhere ;-)

    Started a new planting job today.

    The dog put one up a big old totara tree within the first hour. It came tumbling out after a couple of shots.

    7 off the last job. Seems theres a few around at the moment.

    Have had a bit going on this last week and been camped at home. So to stop going nuts but not wanting to go too far I headed out Bro in laws place for a couple hours looking for rabbits.

    Took the flea taxi as it would double as his daily walk.
    He has been doing more trading than hunting apart from a couple walks during the roar where he didn't go that well.
    He is actually coming along and hunting at the heel only requiring a few growly reminders.

    Pretty boring for him as we only seen a half dozen rabbits and got the only 2 we seen that were not running.
    Not enough around to try him with the shotgun yet. But he managed an awesome point and hold on a weka

    Helped that it was an awesome day for once and it was good to clean the cobwebs off the wee Hornet.

    My youngest (4) tagged along for some pest control amoung the raspberries this afternoon. He did pretty well to I must say.

    The 17hmr made short work of this one at 90m

    Keep the tail for the swamp comp

    Nice work on shooting the bugger. I saw one on state highway 22 and unfortunately the car in front missed it.

    A bit more rabbit control tonight, nailed this one right in the eye at 130 yards, then the little bugger on the run real close after he had eluded me for a while hopping thru the rows of raspberries.

    No animal deserves it more than a bloody Plover.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
