    Went out with the bow Saturday and Sunday . Cocked up two good opportunities Saturday . Very erratic winds and me not being cautious enough. A vague moan this morning but nothing else. Talked to two different parties on my way out and an 8'pointer and a nice 12 pointers got shot by them, so I Will try again next weekend.

    MSL, I have spent time in Friwi's company and I can testify that the garlic is neutralised by the blue cheese.
    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

    Walked into a spot I used to go years ago to see if much has changed. Still a lot of animals about. Hardly got any sleep for the howling easterly all nite.
    Heard one roar during the night close to where I camped so went to see if I could find him at first light. I smelt him before I seen him. A scrubby 8 holding 4 hinds.
    Just about sconed him with a rock. I got pretty close as the easterly was still howling. After I threw the rock at him deer were running around everywhere. Bit of comedy for the morning.😆
    That's my red roar over as I am heading south to find some fallow.

    Congratulations Metservice on another forecast fukup
    Pissed down last night and I was up at 4am checking drains. I’ll give you that one
    Today was to be worse with thunderstorms. Right now at work I need sunglasses to look out the window with blue sky and white clouds. You fuked that one up
    Not too worried about next week. If they say it is going to rain then I know there is a good chance the sun will be shining and the blowies bathing in it
