    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

    Happy Birthday @Trout,
    You should be 75 like me in about 27 old codger months. Old codger time is the apparent time between events from our point of view.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    In the new world of Codgers,I managed to shoot my first deer.Only a big 6 month old fawn thru the neck at 120yds off my shooting stick.Seen a few deer some inside 600yds,some further.Last night never seen a deer.But 3 or 4 stags were roaring their trumpets out about 4am across the river,loud as.Home tonight to a warmer house.My deer maybe small,but it will be tasty.

    2 torches and a knife, do you loved ones think you're a bit dim and too blunt?

    If thats a lenser MH5, thats a nice allround headlight.

    Also, happy birthday. I hope im still hunting and shooting when i get there.
