    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

    You should have got like 14kg of fur from that lot haha . I pluck everything off the possum but the tail . Too bad there isn't any possum numbers around here like that or I would have a new car Dale haha . I bought a nice quad for possums here and two months later they all got poison bombed .

    Yea if the fur price was the Same as 4 years ago it would be even better I hope it will go up again soon . 600 bux for two days is still good and the tax man sees none of it

    I strip all I can off the bloody things, the fur buyer has never mentioned it. Round here it takes anywhere from 12 to 20 for a kilo depending on season size and patience.

    Was gunna say, 6 kg seemed very light for the amount shot.
    I used to average 1kg per 15 possums.
    Have got a 1.1 kg off 9 big Haast buck possums once.
