    I'm not usually one to skite but I was pretty happy when I whacked a hare at 201m with my recently acquired 17hmr and dropped it on the spot this arvo. No photo sorry as it was a standard engine room shot. High fived myself

    You did a mint job of headskinning the rabbit GWH as rabbit skins are thinner than paper.

    Had a very similar think myself many years ago but I was the one that put the hole in a black bunnys ear attempting a head shot. I did get it a week or so later and saw the evidence.

    Good stuff.
    Those are some big rabbit holes. Looks like one rabbit had a splitting head ache.

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Yeah mate, almost lost the lad down one of the larger holes, thought I was going to have to call out the cave rescue team.

    Yeah the 17 Hornet is devastating eh, the lad is getting a graphic lesson that these rifles are not toys

    Yes very true.

    Only 2 hours, but so many lessons reinforced.

    Bloody good work, at that age the litters still behave like a group and you can get a good number as they come back to see what there mates are doing "break dancing". Little noses like that just skim the surface and root up a ton on ground in very short order.
    Here are a few more, the old heading dog loves this and will herd breakers back towards me. Hes getting on now but gets a new lease of life when i pick up the rifle and say pigging.
