Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Must be double jeopardy just bagged another hare off the spot as the last one I got.

Cold clear night into very very cold ( -3 ) morning equals rabbits out in the morning warming up and sitting in the sun.
Dead still and brilliant sunshine.
These all came from one spot, I never moved and just kept feeding the 17, black and cat a real bonus. Rabbits chasing each other everywhere...wonder if spring and breeding is underway.
37 shot for the walk.

Went for a tour of a new farm I've got permission to shoot, saw a couple hares but left them for night missions.
Did smack over a couple plovers though, not the brightest critters they were about 10 foot apart I fully expected the second one to take off when I shot the first but it didn't even flinch so he went pop too.



You can see my wee zooki in the shadow under the hedgline shot off the bonnet, so 100yards or so not really a challenge for the 17hmr.

needless to say hunting was canceled this weekend, i would have needed a scuba set to go outside

Hunting and fishing sounds familiar

One for the dog and one for our freezer.

Went out to my mates farm to shoot some steel for practice, saw a few hares feeding out in the daylight.... They'll keep for my next night missions.
Managed a magpie and a plover both at 100 yards with my 17 = one happy farmer.

Can see the cows, only managed one hare back leg and strap from the two I shot today. One was a running shot at 10metres (texas heart shot) and the other was across a gully at 100 but I changed the ammo and between the eyes didn't work.CCI velocitor

Didnt even have to get wet to shoot these with the 17 today, out the bedroom window, sadly 3 shots though. Love how they're stupid enough to stand around and squwak as they process what just happened. Possibly went like this....
"Umm, what was that noise"
"Peter......Peter....are you okay mate"
"OMG I think peters dead"
"Deep breaths, deep breaths"
"Run around for a bit, maybe it's my imagination"
"Probly just lightning"
"Run around some more, yep just lightning.Unlucky for Peter"

WHIZZZZZZZZZZ as my 2nd shot sails over his head.

"Run around some more"
"OMG What was that"
"Was that a gun shot, what if he got shot"
"Run around some, deep breaths"
"Stop, think about this, I should probably fly awa...Bang...."

He down

First shoot on a new orchard block tonight, not that many on this place but the 17 Hornet snotted a few more.

New ammo,have ran out of the remmy so using winchester now. Still does the job a few vertical adjustments on the scope before putting it to the pussy.

First hare retrieve for Bo since I started using the new brand of .22 ammo
