    Quite usual for many of us VC
    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

    Unfortunately a fact of life for us lot stuck up here in paradise. Kaimais is nearest and that is only 2 and a bit hours, but bloody hard work once you get there. I personally prefer to drive the extra and go to Ruatahuna.
    Well done on the hunt outinabout. Do you think spring is sprunging down there yet or still a bit early?

    Nice to have one hanging up in camp early into a trip Outnabout ,bit of prime veni great addition to the freezer too.

    Not so bad VC if you can swing a few days leave to tack onto a weekend ,makes it worth while.

    Like Rushy saying its normal, be nice to live in the Nelson lakes district ,or anywhere in the south island again .
    Gun control means using both hands

    Picked up a mate on the way down. Stopped in Taupo for a couple of hours for another mate then on from there. Makes for a long day both ways. We were on a private back country block.
    Love the Ureweras. Go there every year for the roar.
