I don't think its ever been done before or not here in oz and I think it would look pretty cool too so I plan to take my "despatch" out into countryside to hunt rabbits with some help from my high powered 22.250. I then plan to add a few good photos and submit the story to a hunting magazine to see if I can get it published.
so to give you some idea my plan of attack is as follows
I rode the bullet, fired the bullet, and despatched the bike to dispatch my game. All courtesy of my faithful old 500cc Indian thumper.
plus I have to ride the bike into the rough country -the paddocks to do just that. well I have arranged the property to do the photos and shoot so it might work or it might not but I still think a battle green enfield or for that matter any enfield would look the part - not so sure on my chrome job though....I think it might dazzle them a bit ;D
-
COOL ! Matt.... I need one of them pop corn eatin' emoji things.

Don't keep us waiting too long, wildbill...

Oh yeah, forgot the beverages ! :o
-
lining up the properties to hunt on now. the magazine sells quite a few thousand copies per month so it would be good exposure for an enfield
-
Just curious...
What if the bunnies shoot back? ;)
Be vewy, vewy quiet. :)
-
=Wait until this story get's out ( "BILL BANGS A BUNNY ~!" )
-
You could mount a chrome plated AR15 to the handlebars and really have a hunt.
-
pretty old photo but I have the firepower
-
plus I shot foxes in this....lol
-
1. along the dirt track
2.looking for the target

4. targets sighted ;D

A Fiat X 1/9... low enough to dispatch any road crossing varmint....that is if the car starts and didn't rust in place
-
If you really want to finish this adventure right, you're going to need to make some rabbit curry.
-
I think that fiat was only about one year old when I bought it so I got in early. although here in OZ FIAT in abbreviation - found in a tip! ;)
at $12k in 1981 it wasn't a cheap car second hand either ::) had a couple of alfasuds too. they too follow the same path with rust.
as for the curry I probably won't write that into the story or they might be chasing me for recipes.....lol
-
4. targets sighted ;D
Wow - here, we have a phrase for that kind of hunting challenge: "like shooting fish in a barrel..."
;)
-
this could have an affect on your Easter celebration.....
-
Yep! No more bunny eggs for you! ;)
-
it could ...but hopefully it won't. it was self defense. I was out numbered ;)

Good news today from the OZ hunting magazine. After a 20 year break my first fox article was accepted and may run as a part 1 and 2 ;D so it's time to bite the bullet ::) and go further with this and another idea to write my C5 dispatch in a rabbit hunting story as the main mode of transport. I think I will call it.
"Welcome To Enfield Country."
I think it would look pretty cool seeing an Enfield in the OZ scrub and tearing up the track. :D No I won't be taking the blue unit along as in the hot sun the chrome could dazzle them ::)
-
Well, hurry up man, we're running out of popcorn...
-
will get into it! ;D
-
stage 1. of my project getting back into the hunting magazine has been successful and I received the first run of the june edition of the magazine yesterday.
stage 2. begins and hopefully nailing the C5 despatch in a rabbit hunting story and hopefully get the enfield in print too.
after that I have no more interest in the hunting mag and will call it quits.
now if you wondering do they take the articles for free -no they don't. if they like they buy and if not bad luck.
this hunting story from the '70 period ended up running as the main feature story and I suppose if you were keen you could keep trying to get scripts in -this one will be worth $450 to $500- but I had 30 years with idiots with guns and almost got shot twice. that rifle in the photo a sako 22.250 I fired 10,000 rounds through it so I am no longer interested in killing game.

Don't forget your Holy Hand Grenade. "Just look at the bones man!!!"

Fur hunting ..... means something different over here ..... depending on age - could involve disco balls and spirited beverages.
