    Hope you're cooking some of that pigeon yourself Toby.

    Took malhunting out for a bit of pest control tonight in one of my forests. Deer have been hammering the young trees, especially spikers rubbing their spikes on the 1-2 year old seedlings. Three deer on the deck for the night, should've had four but oh well. Freezers full again. Plus a handful of hares.

    This is what happens when a 7mm pull meets skull at 100 odd yards. Warning, a little bit gruesome...

    Shooting pigeons off bridges or building at night is fun. Spot on eyes light up bang spot off. Spot on eyes light up bang. Like a shooting gallery, used to do it with air rifles. Same with turkeys roosting, light on, head come out,remove with shotgun and guess what the next one is sitting there waiting its turn. Did about 6 one night before the last couple decided to fly into the darkness.
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Well done Toby
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Wish I could claim it mate, but malhunting took the shot. Called it before he squeezed the trigger too. Was an excellent shot.

    5 roos plus 1 in-pouch joey this afternoon for Mattdw and I.

    Went to break the neck on the joey and accidentally pulled it's head right off. I'm told my expression was a little priceless after that.
