    Out in Cromwell yesterday. Quite a few running around but they weren't staying out long. Lot of young ones. One of the fellas with a setup .223 did well. Made me reconsider selling the .17 for one, or a .204. Handle the windy days better than the .17 anyway.

    Shot this f#@kn bastard after it pecked the eye out of a live ewe. Poor old tart, I had to cut her throat, she was stuffed. 143gr ELD-X from the 260Imp @ 240m made a small fist size exit hole

    The purpose of a batten is simply to ensure that the fence has been built properly. Not using battens in building fences is the same as not using wheels when building cars. No battens being used on fences in the South Island is known to be the result of south islanders having too many thumbs to hit when hammering in staples.

    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

    Come on Rushy we all know the real reason they use all those battens up north is it makes it harder for the ewe to get her head out of the fence

    That is very true VC. Why do you think us north islanders have such firm hand shakes? It comes from gripping the battens while ramming.

    We had this wee cliff that if you got the ewe close enough to she would start backing up. Ha ha ha ha.

    Pro tip: huntaway on the other side of the fence barking will spice things up a bit if the sheep is a bit of a starfish
