    Went out with my brother tonight.



    Left 2 possums stuck in trees and whacked another two on the way back to the truck (8 all up). Got 2 hares, one got away, a few possums got away into thick pine trees and I couldn't find them.

    The HMR is a fantastic caliber for possums.

    Really gutted that my plastic bag stash in my truck ran out. I normally have a few bags stuck in a compartment for when I go hunting so I can puck the fur... but this time I couldn't. They were real big fluffy bastards too, and you can't pluck them cold. Oh well, down the offal hole.

    Well done RimfireNZ. Us kiwis are known internationally for our ingenuity and you didn't think to put the fur in your pocket?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Nope you can't pluck them cold.

    But you can reheat them.

    My friend sticks the cold ones in a microwave for a couple of minutes then plucks them.

    Dont do this in Mums good Microwave in the Kitchen! .... Bad things will happen shortly afterwards, trust me!

    Cheers

    Got one stinky little possom in my leg hold trap today and a friggen magpie in another.
    They must be hungry magpies to want a feed of Dougies possom bait

    Its wicked when you get it right Bill. Specially with the 300 win mag. They tend to go to sleep pretty quickly. 100 % meat recovery noum noum noum

    I reckon its all about confidence and dont over think it or over analyse it . Head shoot a magpie at 100 you ll bowl a fallow easy at double that .

    Point visualize bang done ... Too easy eh ??? Sometimes !!!
