Game on

[duncan61]

Its all organized.The ground has dried out the farmers are mowing the paddocks and a bunch of us are going down to zero and have a shooting comp.I have my 7mm rem and all 3 of us have a .243W.Mate has made some biz alloy plates of varying sizes and I have the range finder so it will be true lies all round. Will do an ambush on sat afternoon for a bit of Kangaroo meat for my buddy then night shoot the foxes.There were pigs last year so who knows

[Browning]

All the properties we go as well are harvesting in about a week and a half...
Can't wait...
Thousands of acres of oats and wheat stubble.... giddyup..

[duncan61]

What sort of stuff do you get where you are

[Browning]

Pigs, foxes, cats, rabbits, hares and quite a few places we go the farmer has tags for Roos. More deer every year and they're showing up further west gradually...
You can also cull as many flies as u want!!
ps. A bloke we were chatting to last week reckons where they cull, the farmer let's them sit on the roof of the header while he's harvesting. They use shotties and hit the pigs as they flush em out... Dunno how true that is or not...

Sounds like fun to me mate, enjoy it and hopefully you will sort some pigs out hey.

I'm heading bush Sunday to assist some farmers up north to reduce the roo population. Packing the .257Wby Mag, 243 Sako and of course at least 1 fifty to test some new loads. If the opportunity presents I'll see how a 798gr Copper CNC hollow point performs on game.

Lol gonna call bs on that one, particularly if it's oats or wheat - do you know how dusty headers are? And do you know how itchy you get when covered in oat or wheat dust (or similar)? Definitely not possible - brings back my childhood of shoveling grain out of crappt old flat bottom silos <SHUDDERS>. I guess if we're canola though it might be possible... then again, that stuff is hard to grow.

As I said mate, sounds good in theory, but not sure how true it is.

On the farm, got the .223 and the .22 clearing out the feral population over the next 3 days

[sandgroperbill]

And here I am with the farm where I normally shoot having been subdivided and a couple of block in the middle sold. No tags for me atm :sigh:.

Oh well, I have a mate having fox problems atm, but .223 is a little too big for his property.





So I went and bought a .17hmr yesterday.
