Actually I read your post as the comments of an enthusiastic young man who had just won something like Lotto but obviously I was a bit too quick in my thinking.
Young man or young lady, it's good all all round, especially if they are taking up the grand tradition of shooting and / or hunting. Over the last few years I have been heartened seeing the growing numbers of ladies coming into the shooting / hunting arena. It must soon reach a point where the ladies will start keeping us guys honest I reckon. Please don't rub it in too hard if you become a top shot. Despite some guys appearing quite bullet proof they can have quite deflatable egos if shown up by a lady's better shooting
And, as some here have asked, please post photos of the 30.06 if you decide to accept the kind offer. Actually, photos of any other interesting hunting gear ( dogs, packs, tents, vehicles, boats etc ) are welcome anytime. Oh, and if you want to include yourself in any pics, that's OK - haha
Anyway, enjoy making your decision and hope it all works out for you. Cheers.

No worries. Ha ha, I'm not that fragile to get upset about people presuming , it's a male dominated sport. No 2 ways about it. But it's cool to see women getting into it alone. I have a freind from the HUNTS course and we go out hunting together! 2 ladies getting it done! And I have it on good authority from the old mates at the club that they are all well aware of how good women shots are ! Looking forward to putting up some pics of our adventures! My first ever deer was a massive stag in the velvet in te urewera last year. What a way to start! There were some quiet men in camp that day ! Pity the only other deer taken was a small hind. Guess I just got lucky!
