    Yeah but they take some putting down... However the dog enjoyed trying to retrieve them!

    Taste? I have the breasts. Any recipe suggestions?

    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

    Two cats and a good photo are worth a bag limit any day.

    haha.. I've been out, thats not the problem. I just haven't landed any hunting spots yet. I've been knocking on doors, making phone calls for 2 weekends in a row and no luck. It must be my Eastern European look. Not giving up yet, I'll put on an All Blacks shirt next weekend.

    Thats a terrible place to be, no access on private land. Maybe the spot-X Game bird hunting book be worth buying. Don't know where you are located.
    I find offering to do any pests on a property helps ,rabbits ,pooks, hares etc some places Canada geese are a problem.I know 1 property that has 300
    resident honkers the land owner would love removed.I do control of Pook numbers on 1 place I shoot. Once you get property to shoot look after the
    land owner I find flicking them a few fresh fillets or smoked fish pre-season helps & a pound or 2 of white bait out side season goes down well.

    Auckland.
    Completely agree with you, have offered box of beer of landlords choosing for each visit, happy to lend a hand on the farm or clean the pesties, its all part of it, tho it feels Auckland and the surroundings is quite saturated (first come first serve once in for all). I'm not complaining at all, if I had a place to shoot I'd cherish and protect it like them too. That's how it goes I guess.

    The leg work is part of the game too, sooner or later I'm sure I'll lend something...
