    How is the young fellah going with setting snares Dundee?
    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!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The boy and I went out cooning last night and got 8 possums, missed 8, we also got a hare and 4 geese. We got this one possum that was real manky that we were not overly keen on touching so we just put it out of its missery.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Brass tally after two and a half hours up the hill after wallabies.. 57 killed. Would have got a few more but we ran out of ammo

    Left side mine, right my brother's. Top row were misses, bottom row hits. Suspect my brother managed to do something clever while zeroing last time as a few of his shots were just not seeming to go where they should have, which is uncommon for him.

    Our new record for that spot, by a large margin.

    Dundee the brass may be the only evidence. Not everyone takes a camera hunting. That said, pictures of a pile of 57 Wobblies would be neat.

    Yep, afraid that pictures were the last thing on my mind. Shoot, reload, shoot, reload. Walk ten steps then repeat. Worked it out to be one wallaby every 2.6 minutes on average

    Would probably take more pics if my only camera wasn't a terrible cellphone cam.
