Roast ain't a roast without a good layer of fat, that would have heart foundation pulling thier hair out.

They are barstards once they are onto you. Nice shot. You were going to put a trap out for it due to its cunning. Would I be right in assuming that as soon as you put the trap out you got a shot at it.

Had the trap set fir a while. Never got it or the kittens I've seen. Saw this limping down the front of our section and it gave me the slip again. Later I was driving out the driveway and it was 3m from the driveway in the long grass in the paddock. Drove back to the house got the gun and was still there when I got back and shocked it

Not such a little pesty caught out feeding in the compost bin!

Did you use that brick to kill it,
What was the FPS?.

This one's been terrorising the wife while she has been doing the gardening.
Happy wife, happy life!

@Snap4T not sure of velocity, but it was terminal 😉

Currently waging war on these little pests. I can see why the sting is so painful.

Just finished getting this Winchester 1885 25 rimfire going with newly self made reloadable rimfire ammo
67 grain powder coated gas checked bullets
Heart shot at 45m and proper damage

Magpie @ 60m using the .22lr
Shot a possum in a tree the Night before, and caught two in the same trap this week. That adds up to 3 possums in a few days from the same <1Ha forest

Evening everyone

I was going out for a spotlighting session last night but realised I didn't have my headlamp with me... So I improvised by tying a battery powered spotlight to my head. It worked far better than any headlamp I've used and shot this rabbit at 70 yds. This 'headlamp' lit animals up at 200+ yds. I will definitely use it again next time.

I've got a rabbit curry in the oven right now, Everything apart from the back steaks is being cooked slowly, I'll sear those and throw them in later.

If it works it works. Still I imagine the rest of rabbits watching were pissing themselves laughing.
Good on you for finding away around forgetting your head lamp.

Emptying the ladder traps keeps me busy at the moment taking 20+ jackdaws a day per trap

Early morning outings to the formal gardens of a stately home where i'm employed as the vermin controller have been productive for grey squirrels.
Fully moderated 20 bore over and under with subsonic loads for squirrels the trees and the .22rimfire with subsonic ammunition for the longer range squirrels on the ground. The house is in the middle of a village so noise and safe shooting is key.
