    Well done Rimfire. That was quite a mixed bag.
    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

    Quote "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."

    Rimfire, i had heard that the "R" thing had more to do with the down feathers being hard to remove rather than the condition of the meat.

    Now you have cast doubt into my mind.....

    Bag one, skin one and give it a go but just be prepared to spit out the first mouthful if needed.
