    Dundee you are a bloody legend mate. Look after that K9.
    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

    Had three fly in last night, they make good decoys.Never shot them as the last swan patties weren't that great.
    After my birds are breasted the carcuss goes to a maori lady who uses the feathers to make a cloak.But I wasn't going to shoot the swans just for feathers.

    Maybe you should take the hint and set up on the flooded grass, you might shoot a few more than the odd one or two.
    Half a dozen full body's and a mojo works very well.

    kawhia will gratiously cover the pond for you just in case or i will volunteer
    as ive had days when you switch the cheeky buggers drop in where you where last night not where they supposedly wanted to be last night.
    pairs and singles seem to love the less open water swampy bits.

    Its quite a big area to cover,and setting up down there you would go out of site.
