My zkw 22 hornet. It's my all round rifle at present, I'm about to run out of ready mades but have 600 hammer in 33gr waiting to be loaded. I never know what will pop up here, there's fallow, hog deer and sambar, perhaps the odd red but I haven't spotted any as yet. A few burly boxers around too, 6ft tall.
What sort of BC and velocity ae you expecting to get from the 33gr?
I see a hornet in my future. just not sure if it's a 20 or 22 cal.
lovely looking spot
I didnt think you had foxes in NZ?
He is currently in AustraliaQuote:

Believe it or not, there is a spot just like it in Woodhill Forest. I did a double take, then a triple take when I saw the fox :DQuote:

Turned out that some smartarse hunter had cut a deer leg off one he'd shot then taken the trouble to get out to the island beach and leave tracks up and down just for shits and giggles..
I won't worry about long range, maybe 150 Max. Should get 3000 fps.Quote:

Sending you a pm.
Tenterfield whistles are a POP to make. Just google it.
Fox whistling certainly is fun. I was doing OK for a long time, but lately they seem a lot more cagey where I am and getting hard to nail.
Shoot what you please, but bear in mind if you're going to post pics online that it isn't hog deer season and even on private they're protected this time of year.
Very good young man, but at no stage did I say I would shoot a hog deer, just mentioned they are here running around.Quote:

Hanging up skinned and out of season.
The leftist govt here shoots loads of hog deer out of season, the rules are there just to thumbscrew the public..
But I'm glad that you're a law abi
And game lic requirements plus restrictions on cartridges for deer.
Jeepers, are all Aussies ada members or something? The same ones that go to out of season shoots on hog deer at Wilson's prom?
Once these leftists are out at the next election I see new rules forming with a more common sense approach.
How do I know this, the whole world is turning against the madness.
Victoria is not NZ. Thems the rules and penalties are stiff. I suggest you read them very carefully.
No, I am not an ADI member.

Ah, OK thanks for the heads up.Quote:

As Oldbloke said, it's not NZ here. A quick google search will show you news articles of what happens when you're caught doing the wrong thing. Confiscation of vehicle, guns etc. and decent fines.
People can do as they please but be aware of the risks.
And, the possibility of going home too I think.Quote:
