    Yup AR15 for pest control on goats and 10/22 on bunnies and magpies etc
    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

    No, use a side by side for ducks, and bolt and lever actions for four legged game. Certainly don’t have an issue against others hunting with them, I’m no Fudd.

    Yes , just back from a wallaby shoot, 205 this year, down from 265 last year but we got beaten up by the weather and lost a couple of days. along with keeping the goat numbers down on the property.

    I do, shotgun and .22 deer guns are all bolt actions.
