    Someone once said to me If you cant shoot it out the window its not worth shooting. Ha ha . Not sure if they meant the ute window or the kitchen window though.

    Then you could just pop out Rushy and pick it up... It is funny identifying Fallow. Where we were there were menil, melanistic and we saw one leucistic (White). Been a few people release the odd good buck in the area we were told to improve their shooting experience on their own properties but of course fences mean nothing to these guys.

    Saw lots of deer long distances away and pretty flighty this trip. One glimpse they re gone wind or no wind...

    Happy, I took a shot with the 270 from my garage once. My ears are still ringing from that. I will never ever squeeze a trigger from inside again
    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
