kiwi 4 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 well with the weather heating up and my broken leg almost fixed i decided to sort out the empty space in the deep freeze, spring is in full swing, lambs and rabbits everywhere and the deer have been getting stuck into the fresh grass. i took the 223 and the gwp on a mission for a spiker and it didn't take long for the dog to find the first mob, mostly hinds and antlerless stags but after hobbling around for a hour a small mob of yearlings and spikers was picked up by my the gwp in a bushy gully, very impressed with the 200meter point on deer i couldn't even see :11: bit of a crawl bipod down and first spiker had his back to me licking his butt, 170meter head shot had him kicking and deer running everywhere, some stopped on a nearby hill and stared right at me and the dog, looking through the leupold one was a spiker so he got one in the scone too was a bit of a carry with a buggered leg and the sun was heating up bigtime but got them back to the ute and are now hanging in the shed, the bbq is sussed for a few months first one, sorry about the blood second one and the gwp,annie the super nose both together under the shade before the carry out.

Guest Frank Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 FANTASTIC Well done sir. Cant beet the .223 in my opinion. I have shot feral goats with it in the past and it is well up for the job. What type of ammo did you use? Some tasty eating their. Frank. Quote Link to post
kiwi 4 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 yeah they are flies, the dam things have ears and show up not long after the rifle shot. always use winchester supremme for fallow frank, have the loading gear but too lazy to handload :11: have a few boxes of coyote ammo that i'm gonna blast on goats on sat, works out about 70 cents a round, about 15p your money i think shoot a few hares with some last nite and they seem to be good, hornardy projectiles help. have shot heaps of deer with the .223 including red stags no worries, just head and neck shots only of course.
