If I had seen that photo without the hedge hog in it I would have said that a hawk had been in amongst them. Good going Dundee.

Some of you might've noticed that I've been away for a bit. Anyway, while I was away I spotted a rabbit, I was tempted to lift my arms to make it look like I was holding a rifle, and say "bang". Probibly would've stirred up my fellow class mates if I did do that.
Also saw two magpies and thought, 'damn I wanna shoot them'.

That's my girl!

Any little lapdog or cat that appears on the idiot box gets that treatment. Basically anything that TR and the terrible sisters describes with that rude c?t# word.

It makes a good game when driving with the kids. First to spot rabbit and say bang wins

Nope, i'll do it in the school holidays.

Decided to go on a mission and shoot some rabbits this arvo.Head shots only so we can use them in the kitchen.My daughter turned up with her boyfriend just after I shot this one at 102 yds which put an end to my hunting today.

Do goats count as little pesties?

5 between two of us today, remembered to grab a couple snaps on the phone this time.

First couple of a solid 4 y/o billy I took at 225y. Decent head, but there are more interesting ones in that block.



Plus one from kill location of a fatty meat nanny looking back up at where my brother took the shot. 175ish yards. Through and through both shoulders with the 25-06.


Two and a half meat animals brought home to restock the freezer.

I'm thinking it might be time to invest in something with a bit more grunt, as I'm not convinced the .223 will be sufficient to get me past 350 on goats and still be sure of a clean kill. Any decently placed shot is still a pretty emphatic killer out to 230, which is as far as I've tested these projectiles, but I wouldn't mind a bit more room to breathe.

Nice work there StrikerNZ

One of those, at least, is on my to do list for this year.

Yeah, seems to be faring pretty well around here. Few places looking pretty dry but this block was still nice and green. Only the best tucker for our pests.

I think he's pushing gamekings(or something 100gr-ish softpoint anyway) as a do-all round, which seems to be performing pretty well. Lights go out pretty quickly. I'm running Nosler 40gn Ballistic Tips in my 223 and after seeing how convincing they can be, I'm sure the 75 vmax would be hard to shrug off.
