Unsure about the varmints question - they're definitely wee pesties though! And luckily they're delicious when prepared right!

Shot my first goat for many years (first on the mainland too) a month or so back. My partner turned it into the best curry I've had in ages 🙂

A few bunnys with my son this evening.
60gr vmax certainly lets you know you have hit them!

The 2nd from the right seems to have lost his head, nicely done.

Just about sorted with a subsonic load. Still a little more noise than I want but it's doing the business.

Took the lad out for a walk about last night after work and managed to knock over 9 turkeys and 3 hares. One hare @ 90m and one turkey @40m fell to the deadly accurate Zbroia Kozak PCP, one hare to the .223 by the boy at about 120m and the other 8 turkeys a hare to the 12ga. Most enjoyable was that the 12ga took out 7 of the young turkeys in only 3 shots!

That boy is growing up fast.

Love it @Mintie, two guys, three different types of gun, heaps of pests. What's not to like?!

52 bunnies in 2.5 hours this evening near Christchurch - nice wee shoot.

90 year old side by side shottie did alot of damage and gadgetman's 22WMR nailed plenty. Good fun

Daughter and I sorted out another 8 bunnies tonight. I’ve been wanting a black bunny for awhile now and ticked that off the list too.



The useless bugger that I am sometimes I left the bipod behind. Out in the outlaws shed with a bit of kindling and a screw had that sorted, Aimee shot 3 of the bunnies with a less than ideal rest with 4 shots.

Found a farm not running rabbit poison, so a quick mission to get some for the pot.

Took the boy out for a rabbit hunt today. Wasn't sure what to expect due to the drought and wondered if the rabbits would be out. In short, we walked a couple of kilometres and didn't see anything apart from some unusually spooky turkeys. When we got back to the car, I was putting the gear away and a rabbit appeared. I shot it in the neck to save the day!

Mum won't be happy about that blood on the shorts

Double in the DOC 150 trap. Normally when one side goes off the other does too, so this is not too common.
