Carnage!

Finally one slipped up.
Or maybe it was I got it from the bathroom window. A previously unused spot.

We don't have the mynas out our way yet,east of Dannevirke.

They are cunning birds.
I'm at about 50 odd starlings to 1 mynar (might be two, one glid into gully but sounded like a hit few months back)
Be a great bird for a pcp or 22lr.
I cant get near them with me springer air guns. If you do, soon as you lift it they are gone.
Can't be that long till they get there, I'm Hastings way. (and not doing a very good job of stopping them)

Hmmm turns out a bit of old dog roll and cover is a better way to get mynars.
Just got another too!

with a permit ..birds are supposed to be left where they fall if my understanding is correct..the opposite of any other time you shoot a game bird...

Stoked with this.
105m stepped out so prob 90m/95m.
Toz 22lr. Pmc 38gr hollow point sub sonic.
Running away from me ( due to me hitting the ground just in front of it, first shot )
Dropped on the spot.

Good stuff I got one of those early knives and they fucking sharp.

A sky rat with no band.

An Bo got a retrieve on the spur winged plover.

What happens if they have a band? Do you have to report it or it just make for tough eating lol

Saw a few pairs while putting up a temporary wire to move cows through a paddock, so came back with the M2.
Two juveniles and one adult.

Darwin award winner number 2.
Heading up to check the last mob of bulls this morning.
Three dogs in canam ( one a foxy) see hare crouched next to track. Slam on brakes calling dogs to get out expecting it to break and dogs to chase. They didn't even notice it,
I stepped upto it. Grabbed it by its ears went back to quad got spade out and whacked it just below the skull taking out spine. Instant dead. Photos for the nay sayers who would have trouble believing it... No bullet/pellet holes.

Head on shot @ 111 meters using the 223 with Sierra 69gr TMK's



Just one of the wee pockets of perpetrators I cleared during a quick sweep of the area



While laying down on top of a hill I had shot 5 rabbits, I could see 2 just on the other side of a fence frozen still hoping I hadn't seen them.

I was reluctent to take a shot as I didn't want to shoot the farmers fence, while waiting patiently for a clear shot 2 more rabbits hopped out into the open so I despatched them and when I put the scope back on the original 2 they were still frozen still.

I watch them for some time and you could see they wanted to make a run for it but had seen their comrads fall victim, one decided to have a quick groom while waiting for his chance to escape.

Finally the bigger one tore off up hill but then stopped to pause fot a bit, it was just long enough for me to scope him up and drop him.

After seeing this the second rabbit wasn't budging so I started to whistle etc, he put his ears up and looked around so at that stage I could tell he was ready to bolt.

Off he went down hill flat out but stopping just before a fence and high dry grass, I quickly scoped him up and fired, not totally sure I had got him I went for the 100 meter walk to find out.

Sure enough he was curled up on the edge of the long grass the 223 doing its job.

I shot a heap including 13 off a log in a tree plantation, I sat and waited picking them off one at a time with the 10/22 with silencer and subsonics.

Great fun!
