Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Righto, after last night's lack of action pictures, tonight I've got a video to show you fellas how it should be done.

First, the spotter does her bit, and spots.



Then, she fetches.



The dogs are particularly unimpressed that they only get involved once the goats are already dead. Not what they had planned for the evening at all.

Mate I would like to reserve a front row seat for the day your wife learns that “man shoots goats, wife retches goats” comment is on the forum. Ha ha ha ha

Got this last night, hiding in a big poplar right next to the orchard.
Had only seen two hanging around and got the other one last week, thought I had sorted the problem. But another one ran across the deck last night.

Hope she's not gonna retch goat tonight @Rushy, while I've been out weighing lambs she's been cooking up a massive sweet goat curry! If she retches it'll be due to too much Lion Brown...

Nah she's bloody good value, my warped "wife fetches" humour might miss the mark a bit, truth is she won't let me go fetch the goats, because (a) she says I'm better with the knives than she is, and (b) she seriously loves the exercise and the excitement of trying not to fall 60m into the creek. There's also a lot she wants to prove, I think, after the hard yards of birthing and raising boys, its time to get out more. Personally I think what she did with those boys of ours was way tougher than anything I could even contemplate doing, I know, cos I was there!

Believe me mate, when I deserve a hiding, I get one directly, no skullduggery or cunning plans required!

I took my mates two kids out shooting rabbits tonight.

Ryan who's 11 hadn't shot a rifle before.

He shot his first rabbit with my Tikka T1X 17hmr at 133 yards tonight, the face doesn't show it but he was pretty stoked.

Took out a new potential hunter earlier on. Wasn’t to happy when my boy shot a cat. I told her to listen to the native birds singing, and asked what she thought the cat lived on. Right on que, he brings it back, and there’s a bird still in its mouth. She approved after that.
Only the cat and wallaby before running out of light.
She asked when we could do it again.

70+ meters, free standing with the hmr. One less to eat the farmers grass.

Looks a bit preggers??

It does look a bit full ah. I didnt check other than noted it was a good size and weight, just threw put it in the back pack and carried on. - They get put as is into a freezer at another place down the road where they are eventually picked up by yet another couple, thawed out, gutted and minced up and turned into cat food.

1. I get some exercise.
2. I get to shoot something.
3. Farmer has more grass for what should be eating it.
4. Victims are not wasted or left, but utilised.

Has to be a winning formula. - And a cheap day out

Most action ive had in the sack for a long time!!

Smacked a few with the hornet and 22-250 yesterday evening. Including a ginger pussy who paid the price for being a bit to casual. The 17 hornet is still impressing me everytime I take it out. Back steaks for the bbq and back legs for salami.

Sighting a few rifles in this morning had been on the farm for about an hour probably fired off 15 maybe more rounds when something cought my eye in my peripheral vision a bloody cat stalking out of the hedge behind me.
I was a bit surprised to see one during the day but at night they quite often come out when we're out shooting hares looking for a free feed.
I froze and waited till it was way out in the open he was literally only ten yards from where I was lying prone unfortunately for the cat I was validating the Bergara 308......Boom lots of little bits of cat everywhere.
Funny enough only 10 minutes earlier I was shooting the 17hmr marlin, no matter either would have sorted this guy out.
I guess it's Kung Pow "chicken" for tea tonight

Tried out the suppressed 20g. Still a bit loud but better than the 12g. Still to get subsonic load done. Not much good for eating when all busted up.
Damn, why do pic come up sideways?
