    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

    Drinking a cup of cement mix helps with that!

    I'd probably be quick to say that too if I hadn't seen the mud soup that Dundee's paddocks are turning into!! Big downpour in Wellies this morning Dundee, probably headed your way. I woke up at 4am it was so bloody loud.

    Dog still got a walk this evening & retrieved a rabbit but an hour out in this weather was plenty.

    So the young fella has been wandering around behind the boys pheasant hunting or helping call ducks in the maimai for about 4 or 5 years now ... he's been told he can shoot Opening in the swamp next season so I decided he needed his own shottie for his 10th birthday. A quick call to Reloaders had a 16g single shot on hold and off we went to pick it up. He tried it, decided it fitted and off we went. He spent hours practising opening it, closing it, mounting it and generally getting familiar with it that night.

    Then off down for a pheasant hunt that weekend. We tried to put him in some areas where he could stand (with me behind and supervising) and have birds come out in front of him and that's what happened. First bird and the little bugger had the gun closed, up, mounted, safety off, swung and fired before I could say "There's one".

    That happened 3 or 4 times during the morning and even though he was a bit behind them, I was bloody impressed. As long as he takes a few years to learn to outshoot his old man I'll be happy

    The Great NZHS take a kid hunting comp

    Fantastic mate!
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
