Thread: My Hunting Diary 2012 Part 1

In march 2012 i went for a night out of spot lighting with my dad (Dundee) He took me up to a paddock with lots of trees in it Dad shot 1 possum for me. So we took it home and i plucked my first possum
This is the start

This is the end

I didnt get much off it .

In April Dad,Mum,Daniel and I went spotlighting We went up the road and we saw something climbing up the tree i thought it was a cat Dad shot at it He got it That was Daniels (Possum trapper) one to pluck. after That we saw another possum Dad shot at it he got it but it didn't dieanother shot bang! deadThat was mine to pluck
so that was that night.

One evening I went and set my trap the next morning i started walking to it. Then Dad (Dundee) came and picked me up and took me to my trap and huray i caught my first possum in a cage trap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In July Dad (Dundee) took me out spotlighting
We got up the hill and we saw a hare so dad shot at it 2 times missed!!
So we raced to the dam we saw nothing the next paddock we saw him!
3 shots missed again!!!We raced to the next paddock 2 shots missed again!!!!But the next shot got it!!!!So i went to retrieve it


After that we went past the hay shed nothing in thereThe next paddock we got to we saw another hare 1 shot missednext shot hit!!!!!!!!!!That was a 150 metre shotThis is me retrieving it

so we went back to the freezer to drop the hares off



This is how full it is now

Good stuff there Sean looks like a blast cheers for Sharing mate

In July It was a nice warm night so Dad took me out spotlighting. We went up the race and saw a Rabbit got in aim but then he took off again pulling this face!

So we got in to the paddock and we lost it then we got up a bit closer he was camouflage he took off 1 shot 1 Kill. This is me retrieving it

this is his ugly face

so we went up the shed and hung him up because we shot it in the head and we will eat it.

Dad skined it and gut it this morning

One night dad took me out spotlighting . So we went up to the back paddock We saw a hare we chased it and we thought we lost it so we went up the hill there it was sitting in the grass shot it it in the head it was real big up to my waste.

So we went back to the shed to hang it up because we are going to have its back legs with the rabbit

it is real big 7 pounds!!
here is his legs.

You should ask your Dad to give you a go sometime. If he says "NO" then you should make him breakfast in bed for a year and then ask again!

You are legend young fella. In years to come they will write songs about you just like they did about Davy Crocket.

Good stuff seandundee soon Dad will be able to sit back while you keep the freezer full

Here *are* the pics my dear wee Sean. Well done mate.
