    That is a nice deer on a nice peice of country Happy. were you content just to photograph or did you harvest it?
    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 don't know about this bloody language we call English. No I didn't mean "did you pay too shoot the deer". I was just asking "did you shoot it".

    I got that you meant that Happy was paid to shoot it.

    Ha ha it's terrible eh ? I have heard that term used though so it was oh did I miss the point . Sorry. Have done a bit of pay for the privilege shooting but always worked bloody hard for it and always meat not trophy. I see no need for me to do that. My job I'm it so getting away ain't easy but I like venison and hunting

    Cheers Happy

    I don,t object to paying a small fee, for learners and the older ones that can't of one reason or another get into the hills etc.
    However that price is crazy and theres no way i could afford that for one animal.

    Also my son and i have driven up to wanganui and gone to about twenty farms explaining that my son is new to hunting and would it be possible to have a look around for one or two deer as im not interested in shooting anymore than that and they would be for meet not hunting for trophys, the answer was no not a chance sorry.
    God bless me coz on other bas**@d will
