More a case of tug-of-war, his sister is sitting in the background as she always refuses to have her photo taken, clearly she is smart and doesn’t want to leave any evidence of her crimes. The minute the dog picks up the hare the bitch is there grabbing the other end and it’s all on!

Looks like he can shoot as well

All sorts of fun with the .22LR at the moment. Hares, rabbits, a huge cat, now the magpies’ turn. I haven’t been playing the calls for several weeks, this morning at first light I could hear a mob of young birds over the way. They came hooning in at the first sound of the distress call, I was mildly disappointed that of the six or seven birds that arrived, only three presented a shot, the others took a perch comfortably out of range. Unfortunately this means that some of them will have learned a lesson.

Just a reminder that I’m happy to send you these calls by Google Drive if you wish, just PM me your email address.

As is always the way, once you take out a pair from their territory, the floodgates open, with all the competing juveniles thinking it's a chance to set up shop. After I took out the pair in the pines on Tuesday night, yesterday it was mayhem, birds all over the place. But I was too busy to shoot them, but I took an hour off this morning to have a crack. Set up the UE Boom and played the calls... HEAPS... zooming in from all sides. There's three more hung up in the pines, one that made it to the neighbour's place (and has already been eaten by the hawk), and another that the dog caught after it unwisely landed in the paddock with a busted wing. So a dozen already today.

Have been doing some volunteer time on a local trapping program

I've been looking for the mesh to make some DOC200 boxes, as pictured above, but can't find any locally. Anyone got any ideas?
