Ermine stoats winter colour in Northern European winter

Tiger in the salt

I went into my local shop to purchase a new CZ457.Disappointed in the quality I came home with a nice second hand CZ452.Someone had attacked the bolt with a file to clear the scope.After tidying up the bolt, polishing the sear & fitting a lighter spring I have myself a nice quiet magpie stopper.Cant believe the accuracy of this thing?

Nice. Going to take one of the hornets out for a magpie shoot tomorrow

Hard work tonight.

Two hares seen. One shot at and this….

Incidentally he getas a few cats after Gypsy Day every year when the neighbouring dairy farms have a change of staff.
Any way he rang me up to look at a weird looking stoat he caught this week.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?Attachment 231673

Yip, usually catch 2 or 3 a year in my high country traps with winter colouration but have not caught one this year so far. I strangely caught a weasel in the middle of summer locally that had almost a grizzled white colouration.

Im totally stoked at possum control on farm. Haven't seen one in probly 5 years.
However I do miss them on nights like last night when the hares are being elusive.
Once upon a time I'd be out till the battery ran flat in torch.
Foxies in tow walking the farm taking out possums.
I look at that one possum Tiroahunta and feel a slight twinge envy. 👍

Only a cub but no more birdie birdies for him.

That would make a wicked pelt @Sideshow.

Nar the hole on the other side is upmmm big

Been slow going, only got two possums a few nights back now, seems like they've buggered off somewhere as i haven't found any the last two nights I went out.
close to a kilo in fur but thats with about 20 possums, although looking back at the photos I might not be doing the best job

Spent a few days chasing these around. Good fun.

Jeez peep sights are useless when you stalk in too close!

Another one of the little buggers.
I was blaming my dogs for pinching duck eggs. Perhaps not.
