Hi all, went out to a mates farm with a few friends to help a farmer cleanup a few ferals on his property. The main target were feral goats, but a few foxes, rabbits, kangaroos and a cat were culled in the process. (kangaroos were legally culled after the farmer had applied for the appropriate tags).

Got this one with the 116gr taipan at around 50m the shot entering his front 1/4 leg and this was the exit

Most shots were taken from 50 to 300meters. This one here was ranged and dropped at 309m which = 338yards with a 116gr taipan.

Finally here is my dog with the fox pup she caught and killed when it was silly enough to get to close to camp one night.

Six of us ended up culling 96 goats in total,they then get split between the farmer and his neighbours and we take whats left home to eat and and the real mangled stuff gets fed to the dogs.

Dont worry I will let everyone know how she turns out, I havent figured out if I want to go the custom route or just order the Model 7 in CDL and get the chamber reamed. We will see though, it will be a few months right now I am focused on getting the semi auto rifles stocked up so I can get through the obamanations four years....
