    Well done GB.
    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

    I've just got back from a hunt since the early afternoon. Between my brother and I we got a half dozen possums, couple of bunnies, couple of hares and I nailed a turkey with the 17HMR.

    I know normally you're supposed to use a shotty for turkeys but after missing a headshot (and having the bird fly into a tree) I thought stuff it and aimed right under his shoulder (I had my brother backing me up in case the rifle didn't do the trick). It absolutely did though. It bowled it out of the tree, stone cold dead. Based on what I saw the HMR has plenty of grunt for a body shot on a turkey (granted it was at like, 50 meters).



    I was really excited about having some turkey... but then I read that the rule of thumb is don't eat them any month that has an R in it, as they eat a load of crickets and it taints the meat. Had I known that earlier I would have left it alone. Bit late now.

    Another example of why the HMR is not to be scoffed at. This is what's left of a possums head after I hit him between the eyes.


    And this was the bigger of the hares I got tonight.
