    The boar would have smelled you coming Haggie.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Havent put any into action yet my little forge turned into bit of a pulse jet so im building another when i get back to auckland.

    On the note of pests, got two small pigs this arvo. went out to look for goats and came across 2 small pigs shot one with the 223 and got the other with a dog, after which some goats wandered out on the cliffs below ranged them in at 405 meters which is a bit far for the 223 especially with the wind coming straight off the sea so might do a morning trip tomorrow. But have some spotlighting planned so i most likely wont be arsed.

    Give them a spritz with fluro pink or yellow tailpaint or spraypaint.

    Bagged 3 rabbits, a hare 3 possums and got onto another pig lastnight but lost it a swampy bit, was a bit suspect jumping into it with chest high rushes and only my little cousin with a dolphin torch for light, kinda glad it got away.

    But all the while you are improving you skills Sean. The bow looks taller than you.
