Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Certified. Cut out gave ideal space for two persons to stand and shoot - was slotted in between the roof cross struts so structurally ok.

Mate's ute had a shooting frame on tray, but I liked mine better because on a v cold Canterbury winter's night at least bottom half of you remained in truck warmth - while yr top half froze..

Good shooting, and im not talking about the deer. (-:

@Marty Henry My 2 mates swear off the deer when down there. But I still reckon one deer is worth 10 wallaby.

Sooner take deer meat all the way up north than roo meat.

Terrible things, wallaby. I even avoid touching them if I can. Too much like over grown rats for my liking.

Have you ever seen the stomach contents? "It's alive". @Tahr doesn't really need to take south island venison north he gets quite enough up here.☺

The rear wheels roasted in an oven bag and served with some nice gravy are pretty deliciamo!

I like to wrap them in bacon before going into the oven bag and cook long and slow.

I have shot and eaten a total of one wallaby from the CNI. Clean looking animal. No smell. More like a rabbit than a rat. I don't tend to delve around in the guts of any animal I shoot. Back legs went in the crock pot and all good.

So overdue to bag a few wobblies. I remember one poking it's head up when I was perched on rock (I picked a nice soft one) eating lunch. Pull range finder from pocket, bang on 200m, and thought to myself, "That's unfortunate, that's what the 223 is zeroed at." Elbows on knees, such a relaxed position for me, and pinged straight through the brain. Got a photo of it somewhere.

By the time you cook anything there will be nothing left that will ail you.

Saw some lights heading up the driveway tonight.Bo nutted off!
Lights disapeared behind a tree fern.
Made my way down to other end of the house when the lights shone again under my headlamp.
.22 between the eyes from the deck.

Trying out new cage on quad. Five possums (one rolled off) n one hare for the night.

Slow learners.

So last night went out and shot a rabbit with my 10/22. Cut the rabbit up and fed it too the dog.
Now the dog is a shitzu maltese cross.
Ate a little bit but then wouldnt eat any more.
Ive done some googling and research but would like advice from here...

Do I keep trying or just accept my dog aint no farm dog !
