Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Thank you! If you zoom in, you can see the bullet hole to the lower left of the base of its ear. I'm yet to harvest any meat off my kills but may have to learn how this spring - I have a mate that I go rabbiting with and he's keen to feed his dogs.

Its super easy man, I harvest them for the kids cats. Lop the head and feet off with a tomahawk, nick across the back, insert both index fingers into the hole made by the nick, pull opposing directions and the skin will come off from the middle to both ends, cut down the belly and scoop out the guts, then I also use the tomahawk to give the inside of the pelvis a chop, then the poop shoot comes out clean too

Couple of decent sized holes in them!

308 with 125 SST good for any critter

Cold morning that turned into a still warm afternoon.
Rabbits out warming up.
Just over 30 shot on a pleasant walk.

Planted some new citrus trees last weekend. Checked on them this arvo and the F'ing rabbits have been at the tree roots. I've been tolerant of them for the past couple of months, but tonight, something is doing to die!!

Ranged a magpie at 120 yards.

No problem for the .22 Stirling

New spot today. 2 hares 8 rabbits ranged between 39 and 205yards. Great way to finish the weekend!

Spotted another hare while running the dogs.

Not to far away this time.

Bo doesn't move till the shot goes off so its all safe.

And another retrieve for Bo

A bit of HMR goodness over weekend n tonight....
