    Lots of carnage happening. Good stuff Dundee family.
    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

    Well done the Dundee team! I hate to have to say it but there seems to be a possum doing a streak over your cloths line.

    Given the wet and cold yesturday, Matt2308 and I headed south for Wallabies. There was wind, rain, cloud and even snow. However, we saw plenty of the little guys out in the rain (they didn't seem to care about getting wet at all).

    With very limited country to hunt due to the weather(cloud mainly), we finished the day with 9, saw about 15-18. There were a few groups of them 3s and 4s.

    All shot between 235 and 440yds with the a couple of attempts between 540-608yds (wind started to fight against us at these ranged and their narrow chest are looks even narrower at 600 yards even at 14 power!).

    We were shooting 270WIN (130gr SP) and 270WSM (140gr SST).

    Ah the cat is an assistant, he looked in a similar position to the possum but must be resting aye
    Great to see the cat getting amonst it.
    My parents have manx cats and I have witnessed 1 of them run down a rabbit...was quite impressive.

    Saturday night Savage1 and I went for a possum hunt, a dozen possums and dozen hares between us, then on Sunday went to go for a goat hunt where we had a contender for quote of the day by Savage1, "I'm not lost, I know exactly where we are. Its just not where we should be."
    Turned out we were on a totally different ridge to what we should have been. Good walk though. Will take my GPS next time as his internal one needs some serious calibration.

    I can't give him too much stick though as he dominated me in the fitness field.

    Well done Nibblet. The odd bit of geographic embarrassment is good for the soul.
