    That is a granddad’s prerogative surely? Age has to have some benefits.

    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

    Nice read as usual mate, times to treasure.
    Nice looking country and a lovely platform and spot for the hut.

    Excellent read, thanks for that. Hope the soup kitchen recognise what a good bloke you are.

    How big is the farm you're hunting on? How far is the hut from nearest neighbours? I predict a lot of deep thought and steak in that huts future!

    That set of yards with the lambs looks pretty exposed. When I was a kid I spent time working with sheep in the yards with the wind trying to rip the coat from my back, a line of trees later and it's a different working environment altogether.

    @Ben Waimata Couple of thousand acres. One boundary is on the top of the bush about a KM away from the front of the hut. A Forestry boundary about the same distance away to the Sou West. A few KM to boundary in other direction to the east.

    @Mathias Still to come - want the cocky there because he's been very supportive. Doing the verandah and paint job next week.

    The 2 deer Brian shot are for a forum member who has been very helpful to us fixing torches and stuff.
