If you keep it for a year and you get out a lot you will have achieved Blackfella Tracka status which take others a life time to achieve. So its not all bad I guess

A great hunter I shot with brought one because he had thousands of NZFS CAC 130 gr rounds that he had received at two rounds per deer tail.

My God I could track by the time that little episode was over I can tell you. Tracking deer through pepperwood is hard with its red spotted leaves, but through red tussock its a damn sight harder.

A rather inexperienced shooter with a 270 took up a position next to me, but back a bit when I was trying to clean up a mob of deer on the tussock one day. Fuck when he fired the blast rolled me over and I have got a big fat locust that sings away in my eardrum 24 hours of the day now.

I call her Tikka.

Hell of a spiel for a .22 shooter...you should never have entered the "personal space" of a .270 shooter.
