    The guys that are after the hare headskins have access to rabbits but very few hares.

    Found another spiky f##!er heading for the chook, found by the labs and dispatched rather crudely in my 'Mr Grumpy' pajamas.

    Anyone hear about farmers in Hawks bay area complaining about large ribbit invasion, the old virus was not working, like to know where about`s it is. The idea is to park up in my caravan and help get rid of a few for them and some for the pot, few beers of cause, nothing around A K L and my little .22 is a cupboard queen.

    I've been dropping trees on a farm close to me for years, the elderly lady owner says I could have a go at shooting Rabbits, as they have a large landscaped property and the little shits are digging holes everywhere..I'm worried she will trip in one.
    This is the only one I saw in the 20 mins I was there before, but impressed as I shot it with my little 600fps Cometa 220...jeeze I wish I could shoot with the recoil of the bigger .22 air rifles as it would make the job easier..but happy with what this little one did!

    theres something quite satisfying about hunting with an air rifle your still learning skills you can still use with the bigger stuff you never know we might be reduced to it in the future
