Thread: Mighty Motu

Down the mighty Motu with good friends and this naughty young spiker decides to sit in the sun a bit too long for his own good. It sounds good but that was one of x7 all sitting like ducks in a row in the pig fern with a frost on the ground just a few feet away. The photo was taken after the recovery and at the same time my mate in the photo had a pig, what a surprise when we met up by the trail at exactly the same time!

Good shit! Both good looking animals!!

1000PA well done on the deer but as an old fart that is concerned that young impressionable bucks might get wrong messages, can I suggest that you remember not to take a photo of a rifle with a closed bolt pointing in your direction?

Well done 1000pa, great result...........

Nice one. I was down those ways over the weekend myself. No success but got dam close to a few animals. If you know the right people down there its a walk in the park. Might have to put up a scenic post any way if anyone is interested?

Yes of course we are

Nice work- looks like you had a great day!

Well done:thumbup:

But while Im sure they were checked and rechecked that they were empty.

Always point a firearm in a safe direction.

I have a real aversion to being anywhere near the loud end even when the bolt is open.

hell I don't even like it when there's No bolt.

Nice job on the animals though

The rifle with bolt closed is a very good point. We are the first to insist on safety and I'm quite shocked to see the photo of myself like that. I can assure you all there is no ammo in there but that doesn't excuse one for such a blunder as to close the bolt on any firearm without intending to fire it.
40+ years of safe hunting and I go and do that!
Familarity breeds contempt eh..........mya culpa, my culpa, mya culpa
