    Just Trapping Possums, which have slowed down in our area.

    With the Fur Price dropping, will have to think of another way to get money for new traps.

    I'm beginning to think you have as many rabbits as berries

    It never fails to amaise me how quickly they come back. Must just keep coming through from neighboring properties, apart from the obvious breeding like rabbits.

    Feels like ages since I went out hare & bunny zapping. Sneaky sneaky tonight, .22LR, up hill, down dale to get onto the hares I could see on the other side of the valley... Most of them shot in the 60-80m kind of range. Got a couple of longer bunnies at 107m and 122m which was cool with the CCI subs.

    Really loving the Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP 4-16x44. It’s been a game changer on this CZ, dials and tracks perfectly, great to be able to use the reticle for quick holds no matter what the magnification. FFP is often seriously underrated I think. Several longish magpies at various ranges in quick succession in the last week, in the Waikato wind, that’s where FFP really comes into its own.

    We've been sitting watching my daughters dance show for 2.5 hours this arvo, my wife and daughter had to head back at 6pm for the 2nd show so me and the young fella hit the berry orchard to shoot some pests.

    Knocked over a few pest birds and rabbits, and gave Archie a lesson on Anatomy 101.

    Off the front porch about 7am this morning, first time I have shot something from a standing position with no rest. Was around 40m away, missed with first shot. It ran to edge of long grass and stopped, clearly heard the thud as the shot hit home .22LR CCI sub

    First goat shoot for about 8 months. Managed a couple of nice eaters for the wood BBQ.
