Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Not bowled, more like garrotted
Little buggers making a mess of the cellar in Mallorca.
These are just a he best mousetraps! No second one getting the cheese

Like shooting fish in a barrel

#2 for this afternoon

Better make that 4....


That's 8 in total over the last 2 weeks

And 5....

Where will it end ? There where at least 10 out here when I shot #5 but regularly as many as 20 mercilessly harrasing the chooks and the dogs.

🤔appear lots of younguns ie greyish back feathers bunch unruly teenagers 🤬🤣

ran over nest of spur winged plover....got a big black possum out of tractor cab for farm worker and smacked it over the swede,it had shat all over the place,what a stink,then saw big fat rat in the sunshine and managed to give it a boot hard enough to stun it...then jumped on it.....all in a days work LOL.

@dannyb when I started this thread I was shooting and trapping magpies on the olds dairy farm got over 1000 in a year and kept the talleys for many more years.You might have 10/50 or 100 but the barstard Aussies will come back as they are territorial and like to take over our country.

First 1 for today, stealth mission as there a bit cagey after yesterday's efforts, shot from the slightly open ranch slider in the background where the pink circle is about 30 yards.

The odd magpie shows up on the island... doesnt last long someone catches up with them

on the other hand... the first animal i shoot with my 7mm wsm is about to be a rat, the little bastards are everywhere, saw 6 the other night waiting for a deer to show up

A bit of footage of a goat I shot on the weekend at 350 yards with my 223.

450 ft lbs at that range with the average 55 gr 223 is marginal I agree shot placement is critical and even that small amount of wind could move the bullet 5 or so inches over that distance depending on direction.
Good on you for the doubletap to finish the job quickly.

Allow me to introduce #11 dunno if the cut outs are helping or not but if anything certainly getting more juvenile birds.... Maybe they are more gullible.
Still getting the adults but they seem to come in once several younger birds are already in causing problems.
I have also noticed that they seem to be more around later in the day than first thing in the morning (which is a pain cause I am working afternoons this week)
