    Not good. I hope they are found fit and healthy
    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

    I've hunted in there afew times, some very rugged country around the otipi. The creeks will be very hard to navigate after the cyclone

    Definitely not good that they are missing - particularly with the weather around the north island over the last few days.

    Can’t help but wonder what they were hunting with though at 15.

    If they are without a FLA, then it's all plain sailing from then on. Just naughty boys then...
