For some silly reason, I have taken up a job offer, which means I'm all done for this year. I start next week and won't knock off til about the 29th of December. At least I can get on the piss for New Years. Anyway, I headed off out bush on monday morning for a few days rabbit shooting. There were quite a few around and it was just like it was(sort of anyway) 10-15 years ago. Sportco .22LR and the new Howa .223 were the rifles taken. I shot a ginger one and a piebald one, but I forgot my camera that day :banghead:(idiot) I even saw a pure white bunny, but never had a chance at him. Here's some pics Country hunted First few rabbits with .223 Went piggin one night with a farmer mate out there Pigs are often found in here. There's 5 dogs in there trying to find some A young boar we got right at the end of the night, deep in thistles The finished product Shot some more bunnies the next day I took a mates advice and wore some ear protection for once. I have a hearing test next week, so thought it was a good idea. Went looking for goats in this country, but didn't see any. I did have a close up pic of a close range shot rabbit with my .223, but photobucket reckon I have violated their terms of use :tosser:

Glad you got out one more time before becoming a working man. Looks like you had a good time! I plan on doing some bunny hunting soon myself, a buddy has some beagles. Does anyone hunt rabbits with dogs down there?

Cheers guys. Yeah Troy, glad I fitted it in too. My work roster is 4 weeks on, 1 week off, so not gonna get much spare time to hunt from now on. Especially, when I have to fly from one side of Australia to the other each time too, a 5 hour flight. And yeah, guys hunt rabbits with dogs here. i wouldn't say it's real popular though, most hunt pigs with dogs instead. I hunted rabbits with dogs once in Scotland and I had a ball. I just need a shotgun and a dog now

Looks like a blast, I have never seen thistles that big. I sure wouldn't want to go after a hog in em.
