    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

    Goose Hunt

    Haha your Gsp does backflips too?!
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    From what I gather they tend to nest in the high country, then gradually migrate down to the coast about this time of year. I'm off for a crack at them tomorrow night. Two nights in the tent, shooting dawn and dusk for few hours, eating lounging, snoozing, spinning yarns and for those inclined rehydration with suitable beverages.
