Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Big pesties
Two wild rams and stalked up close with the 45-60

Busy hour out on an orchard tonight with the 25cal pcp. Don't know why but they all seemed really relaxed and not bothered by me tonight, found it easy to spot then on the thermal, walk up to about 50m, get comfortable down onto the bipod, hit record, check focus and let the shot off at my leisure. Normally as soon as you take a step towards them the scarper off. Weather was a little windy but warm, clear skies but no moon. Odd behavior. These were the ones I could be bothered picking up, rest were left for the Hawks

Yeah, the rabbits around the farm have been acting dumb for the last few evenings. Usually they scarper pronto. Last couple of days they have either just looked at me, went back to feeding or froze. All three actions were the wrong ones...

Good hunting and nice PCP hardware Mintie. Are they easy to obtain in NZ? Do you use slugs or pellets?

Yep the whole AGT range is available through Young's airguns in Auckland. This one is just setup for pellets at this stage but might move to slugs at some point.

One of the goats from this week. It had a large flesh wound in the top of its neck which looked fairly recent. The 52gn Targes sorted it out.

Lethal little bullets. Something special about them.

Do you find the focus quite critical? I do, but I wear glasses.

It's critical for good footage, but if I'm not trying to get good clips and I have already ID the target I'm not too fussed if it's a little blurry for the shot

First time shooting turkey on a mate's farm - good fun!

Bo got the passanger seat last night as the wife wouldn't sit in the back.
First rabbit we spotted Bo lept out the half open window.
Windows up and i sniped a youngan mutch to Bo's disgust.

Shot a hare tonight while everyone was watching rugby.lol.

A cat has been showing up on our game camera at home so this morning, after sighting in a load for the new 223, I got out between showers to get some bait..

One more before the rain.

He has knocked over a few deer and goats etc but never a turkey so he was chuffed to get that ticked off the list!

Abit of a mixed bag. 4 chooks,2 bunnies, 2 pigeons and a seagull with the ‘in progress’ JW15. Thrown a VX1 3-9x40 Rimfire on it. Trigger had some work, and is turning into the one I reach for.
