    Got to go for a walk on the farm today. Wasn't too windy so I took one of the hornets. Walking along the track firstly I saw a couple of mynas haven't shot one of those in ages so ranged it and just under 100m so decided that would test the zero and 1 dead myna didn't take a pic as there wasn't much to take one of. A little while later about an hour I spotted a small mob of goats counted 11. I sat and just watched them for a while but they were out of reach for the hornet at 525m plus a lot of wind up on the ridge and no decent backstop so flagged those ones. carried on doing the loop and spotted another mob of 16, also not in a good spot to take a shot as they were on the top of another ridge and no backstop but they were within range at 170m. I just lay there watching them to see which way they would go and also had something to eat. Eventually they came down the side of the ridge towards me a bit, so I picked one out and took a shot at the shot he dissapeared and the others took off. I walked over to where he had been and he had run about 8m around the corner and dropped dead on a slip. headed back home for a date with the lawnmower...

    A deflated squirrel, that was busy scolding me while out hunting, i had to change the 7x64 barrel to .22 hornet barrel, fit the scope and get ammo from bag, Was still scolding me and the dog, so deflated with a 46gr soft point. pretty graphic.

    A couple of hours this afternoon with the 17HMR. It can be pretty brutal.

    This one was odd. I shot a rabbit at about 30m. There was a puff of fur, and it vanished out of sight behind the little hump it had been partialy obscured by. When I went over I found this????
    Name: 20231029_142759[1].jpg Views: 274 Size: 6.93 MB
    WTF??? Looked around and couldn't see any other part of it. Eventually found it about 5m away in some broom bushes down hill from where I had shot it and it had dropped it's guts.
