    Good on you StrikerNZ
    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

    Up until a couple months ago I thought I'd killed everything on the farm I live on. Then I started seeing this single little cottontail down in the same spot by the creek a few times. After either not being sneaky enough (and just seeing the flash of a white tail) or missing shots with my minute of barn 10/22 I finally got him.

    I didn't take the useless turd of a 22 out, I took out the HMR as that actually shoots where you point it.





    Don't know about you south island guys but it's scary dry up here at the moment. Not a great photo (dusk) but everything is brown. Hasn't been any rain in ages.

    What little pesties did you bowl over today?

    Same here, you can see some paddocks turning a grey colour as the dirt shows through whats left of the dry matter.

    The whole Auckland region has a Grass Curing % of 70%
    Canterbury highest Hanmer 90%, Otago highest is Tara hills 90%
    Highest in the country is Bridge Pa on 99%
    The fire index for each area bounces all over the place between high one day and extreme the next depending on wind speed

    Nice shot on the Cottontail

    Hancock's have just closed off access to the Woodhill Forest north of Rimmers Road because it is as dry as in there. So that means no access to Murowai Beach through there and no recreational motorbiking in the forest. Looking forward to rain.

    West Coast is pretty good with 30% CG. Haast on 20% and still Low. They have awesome whitebait fritters there
    Just been out the back of work and Mt. Wellington is pretty brown
