    First deer

    My cousin rang this morning to say his nephew hasn't got a deer yet and the last time out couldn't see the deer pointed out to him so my cousin shot it and said "there it is"...haha.

    Time to get the confidence back with an easy 'wild' fallow back of the farm. Windy old day but the young fella smoked this fat wee spiker at 216y with a 22-250 through the shoulder. Nice exit hole too.

    Great to see a young fella smiling about hunting and gathering.

    Nice going, should be a good eater, getting bad when the deer arrive on your doorstep asking to be shot, nice to see though.

    And now this young fellow shot his first deer with you, an experience he’ll never forget. Well done, what an honour and a privilege to take young hunter to his first deer.

    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
