    An Early morning hunt

    Got up at 3:30 am, packed my bag and was soon picked up by my brother at 4:00
    We went to snee rd but there were 3 vechles there
    So we went else where. we walked about 10km up a steep ridge and through tight vines whilst trying to be quiet. When we got to a certain point we heard 3 stags roaring at each other. So then Daniel started roaring and they were replying. We followed the noise for half an hour but then a stupid plane flew over really low. So we sat down for another half hour and we didnt here any more roars so we headed down the stream. Getting down was hard because it was so steep and wet that you would go for a skate every now and then!
    Here are some pics

    Well done Sean and Daniel
    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

    You can't wrap them in cotton wool Mrs D & you wouldn't get any thanks for doing that ,boys will be boys .
    At least they aren't going alone & can learn together .
