Finally some peace and quiet!

That's a beautiful family portrait! @Muddyundy

Every man likes a bit of fur at the start of the day.

This arvo we hare hunted with Bo.

Got the first one without him so came back home to get the pooch for the retreives.

Treats of the hare hunt.

Hang em for a day when there is no washing.

Harvest in the morning.

Just like venny!

A few pics that I wanted to share with @Micky Duck . I went for a wallaby mission with my daughter on the weekend. Was an absolute mission battling gorse for an hour to get to one of the wallabies that I shot. In my mind the wallaby was getting bigger and bigger the longer I went through those prickles. Upon finding it in the dark I was sure someone had swapped it out for a much smaller one because it was tiny!

I made a shooting set-up from an old tripod which seemed to help when shooting over tussock.

Classic case of "ground shrinkage". Pleased you had good trip and managed to tip a few over. I will use my frame pack for shots like that but usually find I'm sitting with elbows braced on knees shooting across small gullies.

First shot at live game with my 159 year old Ball & Williams Ballard 44 Rimfire

Bloody stoked with everything about this rifle

That's somewhere about 150- 170 metres.

Cripes. You must have terrible eyesight. They have painted big white stripes on the cattle to keep them safe.

Tonight's dog food sorted.

RUDE! So fricken RUDE!
(PS I thought they were black and white sheep! Gotta go to SpecSavers!)

There are at least 3 Spaniards there, hope you got them all.

Evening walk with a good mate in North Canterbury hoping for a deer but ended up with three hares. Turned very wet-- great for the farmers. Trophy of a cast antler though, pity its old owner didn't come and say hello.
