Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

They are underrated im running 2 of them in the fleet of nikko stirlings ive got they are on 2 of my,6.5x55s the aur kings are another good one fot one on my 222 and one on a 22 hornet never win a bragging comp with them tho

After a quick chat to a neighbor, I have been granted access to one of the big market gardens while they are between crops. It's nice not having to stalk the rabbits like I have to in the orchard. No, the cat was not on the death pile , she's just checking out her food for the week.

5 more for the jw15 this arvo, mostly standing shots, a couple on the run.

Another Feline gets a 17 HMR injection

Strange coloured bugger, i assume hes sitting on his tail or did you get him with a hokianga heart shot?

Lol, yeah he does look like he has no tail but if you look at the photo you can see his tail on the edge of the picture.
I haven't moved him for this photo but typical cat they thrash about a bit so his tail is lodged under some weed ( whore hound ) so it looks short.
Cool marking for sure , really stripped on the rear quarters.

Wasn't easy though. Team effort. Weather was crap in the mornings. Very low lying cloud clagged us in till mid afternoons.
Something like 40 000H to play in, so plenty of land I haven't even got to yet.

Nice.
brother and I managed 257 rabbits, 1 black and 1 half white, and 1 cat

What hunting in Central is all about this time of year, stunning weather , lots of rabbits and amazing Autumn colours.

My boy's at home for ANZAC so, after the parade we had a short walkabout. Only one rabbit, then the tiger stripe mog. Bugger me , but on the way back out in the truck,we saw a black cat at a pre ranged 200yds. So off jumps the boy and mog number 2 for the hour and a half we were out. Also saw one more on the roadside bund running into my shooting, he can wait.

I took the 204 up on a trip to north island about a month back, amazing country for stretching the legs it's legs (and mine!!!). And yes that maggie head is exactly as I found it!!


The 22 has been earning it's keep at home lately as well...

Took the kids out for an afternoon at a local farm to hunt a few pests.

Kids were on the binos, Lucy did pretty well spotting things a way off. We stalked into shooting range of a couple of mobs of turkeys, and nailed a few, as well as a Maggie and a hare as we were heading back out.

Spotted a couple of goats in a steep gully, 2 turned into 4 that turned into a mob of 15 including a couple of reasonable billy's. Photographed and filmed them as the kids watched them do their thing thru the binos. Left the goats alone today.

Lucy had a few shots at my little gong plate from about 120 yards. She likes the 17 Hornet as it has zero recoil just like her 22lr youth rifle.

Much fun was had by young and old ;-)

I'm super impressed with the little CZ 17 Hornet, the tiny 20gr vmax doing 3750 fps puts big holes in things and takes no prisoners.
