Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Got out and about with the old man this afternoon. Managed to bag 4 bunnies between the two of us. @Tentman you will be pleased to hear that the new owner of the RART managed to get some first blood with the rifle.

Nice. Well done guys, awesome when a plan comes off!

The lads and I hiked to the pinnacles (coromandel) yesterday. We saw this fella on the deck of the hut so I chased it with my knife up a tree, threw a few items up the tree to get it to come down. I eventually got it low enough to club it in the head and out of the tree (humanely) with a stick. That made for the second possum in 24 hours after I shot one through my bedroom window the night before.

What's the state of the pinincals hut these days and the tracks


Last time I was up there, they had just put gas in it and done the hut up.

We should almost make the Location and Calibre compulsory for this thread.

It’s pretty luxurious. It feels like they did a recent refurb on the cabins as they are very tidy and nice pain jobs, clean cold shower, 5 x 2-burner gas stoves. They have also enclosed part of the deck that’s joined to the kitchen in sealed glass type joinery which means it’s another space in winter warmed by the communal fire in the kitchen

Me, Dad and Grandad spent the last day or so in king country harvesting some protein. The Fallow and goats were shot with a 7mm-08, the hares and rabbit a CZ .22 LR. Total numbers for the trip are:
1x Fallow
7x goats
7x hares
1x rabbit

The hares were great fun in the spotlight, mostly inside 60 metres. This morning I let rip on a mob of 6 goats and took them all - after taking out the two nannys the kids stayed put in a good shooting position. Shot at approx 120m

Another one bits the dust. Or in this case mud.

Got lucky….

I reckon there's more goats in marlborough than king country, every time I go out I'm tripping over them
Have been doing my part to clear them out while feeding the dogs at the same time but if anyone around here is struggling to find any stinkies I can point you in the right direction

This arvo….hit n miss ratio pretty average….
Two plovers n a magpie….
