    Hurricane Wind Hunt

    Yip yo guessed it off to the tops with that bald bugger @BRADS

    Glassing the tops from the saftey of his seat.
    Name: picture 7086.jpg Views: 457 Size: 165.3 KB
    Sheep shagger lost his cap twice in the gales
    We spotted a few but holding the rifle in the hurricane winds was hard enough. Standing was a mission once we left the bike and hiked 20km.
    Over hills dotted with deer.

    The wind was that strong I reckon the birds were flying backwards.
    Even the lance wood tree was struggling to keep it leaves on.

    It was much relief for Brads to get off the hills to see his mates and lovers
    Name: picture 7107.jpg Views: 386 Size: 162.0 KB
    I have to thank this good bastard again for dragging me ass off the farm and into hurricane winds.
    Dropping a box of lion brown off before going hunting and throwing in a rifle cover for the weapon for the ride too the hunting hike.
    Well we got none but we were out there in the wind and you don't get any in front of your computer screen.
    We hunted just above the dogs ears in the Ruahines

    Dundee I call bullshit and challenge you to tell me how you were hunting above the dogs ears. Firstly all I see above the dogs ears is cloud with the hills way below and secondly if you meant you were taller than the dog, I still call bullshit. Did you and Brads get up to a bit of Broke Back mountain activity up there?
    Beaker, sometimes and madmaori like this.
    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

    Bloody hell Dundee, if a fella was going to take me hunting on his farm, I would splash out and buy him better beer than Lion Brown.

    You would have missed the sheep with that much wind let alone a deer. I guess you could say that you were pissing into the wind this day!
