Although it was incredibly close to death, it was still gasping for air, so I gave it one more to end it quickly. I don't like suffering (perhaps I'm just a whimp lol).
Yeah Bigfellascott those dogs you were talking about back a bit mate they will only get thicker if not confronted some hunters think that you can just go out and shoot or trap dogs day after day but the truth is every time you have an encounter with a pack it gets harder to sight them making it almost impossible to get a kill they wise up to things like a human to the stage even trapping them gets difficult even those seasoned trappers and hunters that have hunted dogs for years most likely will tell you they learn something from the dogs every day so just goes to show how adaptable a dog can be

Nice job mate, I like the small cals myself, they just get the job done without too much fuss and noise etc. I love my Howa's too, they just work and shoot great, it's not too often I miss when using em I can tell ya.

.223 has been one of my favourite calibres for as long as I can remember. There's not much it can't do - I've shot bunnies with it, and I've also shot pigs and goats with it. Variety of bullet weights (I have a selection from 50 - 80 grains depending on purpose), and most importantly - cheap!
A .308 or .270 will join it by the end of the year so I can add some antlers to my man cave, though.

Bloody oath, that sounds yum too - love the new handle, might use that I love cutting firewood, it knocks the piss out of me but I still love doing it, just can't go hard at it these days, it doesn't take much to knock me up (breathing difficulties) but I still have a crack none the less.
I actually enjoy it more than shooting these days, but I still enjoy a bit of that too but don't do as much as I have in past years.
