Just been given 850+ rimfire rounds...yesterday

Today i made a phone call to a neighbouring farmer and have been given access to 1000acres to cull hares.
Had a quick look before sun down they were on the next ridge over just as the sun was setting.

Zoomed in for a better looksie before two quick bolt action shots!

Done on the line!

Let them cool for a bit then back strapped them

On the 1000 acre block with Bo

Zoom in.
Kill shot.

Bo on the retrieve

Next shot on this rabbit.


The retrieve

Shot placement as to not waste any meat

Out for a shoot last night, snagged a ferret and a couple of hares. Oh, and 141 wallabies.

223 was running a little hot all night.. poor barrel.

Stopped on the track looking over a gully at one stage and shot 18 in <5 minutes without moving, then drove around the bend to look back into the side we'd been on, and shot another 4.

First night on the wallabies in ages, great to chase them again.

Got out twice more over the weekend, pretty good run on both. Ill just chuck the photos for both walks up together. Took 12 Rabbits out on the Orchard and 6 Goats and a Hare out on the Farm. Goat shots were 30-150m and the .223 did very well. The centrefire is a CZ527 Ebony in .223 and the PCP is a Zbroia Kozak in .22.

5 all taken from the one spot on the driveway



Zoom in to see the beauty headshot on this bunny, 60m standing shot unsupported.



This Nanny popped her head up only about 30m away, got a bit messy.



This Kid was running at about 120m and the shot didn't quite go where it was planned so it needed a follow up head shot (which tore off its jaw)



This Nanny was sitting still waiting for me at 150m so I put one into the engine room, good bang flop.



Tried to get a fancy shot showing off the CZ



This Hare hunkered down about 40m away thinking he was invisible, .223 made a real mess of him with blood and guts spread about 10m away.



A cheeky Mynah that was bugging me at home today, knocked him off his branch nicely.

Got a couple more hares today with the .22lr

Zoomed in and got a vid but piss poor quality available on fbNZ rimfires

Bo retrieved them both.

managed to hit a magpie with my car. the force ejected a load of bird poo onto my wind screen!

Magpies are back!

Power board inspected the pole and they thought it was live.

Coming back from the river with Rod n Rifle.No trout but a feed.

And another tonight with Bo on the retrieve.

Another head or neck shot.

Earlier on in the week I bumped into a lovely family who have a bit of a bunny problem so they were happy for me to go and shoot a few funnies and that's an understatement.

Seeing as it was a stunning Saturday I wondered up there for an evening hunt with the CZ .22 as the shooting distance isn't far so I could leave the HMR at home.

Wondering around until dark in t-shirt and shorts in this sudden hot weather I shot just on 50 bunnies not even putting a dent in the population!

They weren't gun shy so you sat there and waited for them to pop out.





I'll go back again in a couple of days for a night shoot with the new M1 Archer mounted on the rifle and see what I can accrue.

Gorgeous grain on that stock. Nice haul on the hoppers too!

Went out to check the zero on the 17hmr before hitting the hares tonight.....yup zero is all good smacked these 2 over at 100 yards saved me wasting a paper target

Out with the CZ .17 HMR with Maxtoch M1 Archer spotlighting last night.

Just some of the 60 odd bunnies, 1 hare, 6 possums shot.

Numbers have gone a bit silly round our way too !
