    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

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for the comments.

    Bush is very open red beech mostly, little pockets of braodleaf and quiet a biit of crown fern in parts. Pretty dry country hence the open bush.

    It is steep in parts, actually shot this boy about 200 feet above the creek, on a wee terrace so not too bad to walk around, photo a bit decieving I guess.

    Anyway a bloody good day, not the biggest but hopefully will taste good.

    Way better than sitting on the couch!

    Cheers

    Dino

    Thanks all, and yep it was a bit of a grunt back up onto the ridge - toss the rifle forward & crawl grade

    Not much of a trophy hunter but I might go back and have a look for big daddy next year, there were some huuuuuge prints around the area

    My sad effort - crap 6 point head, but plenty of patties n salami outa this boy.
    No big story - walked about 4km from where we left the truck, and he was head down bum up feeding in the middle of the river bed. Was not interested in roaring etc just feeding - had to get really agro on the horn to make him lift his head to be able to shoot him!
