    God times Roy. Well done
    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

    Cheers guys, im well impressed with the 243 - location was central plateau , they were moaning at night, I managed to get my stag to roar he was in a shitty basin and came out roaring after a bit of persistence , got dropped with a 200m neck shot , saw a few others but couldn't get on them.
    Stags where roring in the mamakus thursday night, butchered a chance on one.
    Next trip is the Ureweras.

    Happy Days

    Nice one and definitely a good weekend.

    To be fair my poo poo valve would be working overtime carting those heads and animals around!

    Great result and enjoy the rest of the roar!

    Cheers
