    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    If you are confident with it then a .223 will be fine try for neck shots. If your weren't confident then it'd be wiser to wait for the .308 and not wound something

    RODSTA I know you want to have your own rifle but don't sweat it if you haven't by the time this trip rolls around. I have one you can borrow. Toby there is already a shit load of us planning to make this trip but you should find a way to get to Rotorua and we can pick you up on the way through.
    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

    RODSTA at the moment I am an unemployed bum so if that doesn't Chang then you and I could go down on the Thursday night and set up camp. Then depending on what time the others are going to arrive we can arrange to meet them and lead them in on the Friday.
