    I guess so but as the actress said to the bishop, another inch or so would have been nicer

    We decided to take some legs from the easy to reach ones for people and dog food and found shotgun pellets under the skin on one, no 2 steel from the look of it. Been there a while as the pellets had started to cyst over and there was a bit of rust staining. Bloody idiot whoever did it.
    Nice.
    What's the Douglas score? 100 and what? good spread and we don't come by them much down in the deep South theses days.
    Didn't keep a lot in the old days it was just another stinking goat, my,our values change as the hills get higher.
    That's a pleasing day out and these ones seem to stick in the memory.

    Looks like it badly needed pruning anyway.

    Dragged my Dad and my young fella out to shoot the orchard today. Someone must have warned the bunnies that 3 generations of us were on their case, as they were very thin on the ground today.

    Only 5 shot this arvo. Think I'm getting on top of them now. Have shot about 140 in the last few weeks off this one little block.

    Shame I didn't get a pic of the 3 of us together.

    Most end up at the stuffing place(taxidermist) then end up in displays in schools or on environment projects.
    yes will tail them if not needed.

    Scoped out a new spot for hares today, apparently crawling with rabbits and hares, only a 10 acre lifestyle block and it certainly wasn't crawling with either saw 2 rabbits and 5 hares managed to shoot 3 hares so not bad for walk and stalk daylight shooting for a change.
    Pulled off a 170 and 150 yard shot with the 17hmr so pretty pleased with that

    Had a pretty awesome couple of days out camping/hunting with a mate last week. Lots of Pig/Deer sign but ended up settling for half a doz possums and a couple of tasty nannies. The possums were into the pine trees and all were shot within about 25mins before I started following Deer sign (which didnt lead to anything interesting). One of the Nannies was a neck shot and the other a brain shot that looks like it was a little low but the entry was perfectly placed, the exit wound is just low as I was about 80m above her.

    Looks like more than one nights work too, or six or eight having a party by the number of bite marks
