    I cant take you for a hunt, as I am an ol'fart now, but I can stand at my back door and wave my arms and point you in the general direction. I will check to see if your ears are painted on though as God told me "I have only given you so much breath, so don't go wasting it".
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    You are not old at all Spook and you are still riding horses which tells me you are still capable of hunting. Welcome to the forum RODSTA, my missus buggers off to Europe for a month tomorrow so I will be due some serious hunting catch up time from the middle of November. I would be happy for you to tag along on one.

    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

    we all have commitments in life

    being a dairy farmer i know long hrs no wknds off for mths on end but being outdoors is a joy in itself but then on the flipside with a little fwd planning long wknds off or mid wk time off is often more acceptable and easier for us farmers
