Thread: 2020 SHOT STAGS

And constant washing of hands and wiping of the ute's door handles. I also disinfected my quad with sterile wipes. I do though feel a little tinge of guilt about pushing the envelope.

The odd person living on a farm might go deer hunting now, but to me its breaking the spirit of what we are trying to achieve. You do vital industry work, or you stay at home.

I would just like to say how proud I am to be a hunter right now. I know how much we are all hurting, in yet people are being the better people for the good of the country. Mostly. This is a team sport for the next wee while folks and I look forward to the posts when we have seen it off. We live in paradise and it is worth sacrificing what we love for a while in the interests of preserving that long term. If we get this right the rest of the world will wish they were us. Kia kaha. Respect.
