    You guys should have airlifted some Bmx bikes with the chopper up there and go back from the top of urchin track down the car park, that would have been a cool finish! Congratulation

    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

    Wow well done! You got yourself a star.
    I proposed on a mountain also... Only Mount Eden though (no deer there just a few sheep).

    A couple of healthy Sika, chuffed as. Both deer were shot at 280 yards, just up on the ridge from camp, 15min walk away.

    Nicely done indeed. And already having her own expensive & time consuming outdoor activity will take the pressure right off excessive expenditure by you on yours. I can't see you getting any Beef&Lamb sponsorship for new optics or fly-ins for these wild venison recovery missions of yours though!
