    Best of luck, the mature Sika stags are following the girls around and roaring up to 10 am in the morning at the moment

    Haven't heard any in the evening until 7 pm.

    Just start thinking all sneaky Scouser. They are as cunning as a shithouse rat.

    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

    All the best Scouser.
    As said before it is quite addictive.
    On the way home you will most likely be thinking of how to justify to your wife why you have to fly in again before they drop their antlers and again just for the sake of it.
