I write for NZO and I wanted to provide some free advertising of a shop in return for getting things posted here" another grunt, looking at the floor, I gave up at that point. No suggestion of who I could go to instead like who the manager or owner was to talk to. I bought my item and left in awkward silence.

I'm not trying to say I'm a big headed be all and end all.

What I loved about Mainly Hunting was the genuine love and enthusiasm of the outdoors and passion to get people onto things. They were always honest and helpful and excited. I was hoping for a similar thing in HB. Perhaps it was a bad day for this chap. I might give it another go but the mag may well say no anyway seeing as they don't sell any magazines.

Thats Mark, hes actually a bloody good guy and very knowledgeable with all things firearms and hunting.

Unfortunately with the sale of the business some of them be loosing there jobs. So staff morale may not be at a record high.

Once again, its all about context and knowing the bigger picture.
