    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

    Swan hunt Tauranga harbor today. Apparently us murderers (60 + people) will be on the news TV3 next day or so. Very vocal reporter she shouted we were all murderers someone yelled you re welcome to stay but shut the fuck up or fuck off and neck minute police arrive
    She didn't have a boat so bad luck Necessary hunt for welfare of pop and harbour. We got 5 or 6 each and brought home kgs of meat.
    Shooting was hard but good downed some high up birds no wounded on our part. Hundreds and hundreds of birds. 100 or so taken wouldn't scratch the numbers at all. TV3 were parked up in their boat filming all the action. The angry reporter on shore had animal skin boots on and was a chain smoking tree hugger . They really needed to shoot 500 as some I breasted were starving to death . Anyhow politics of it all aside a good learning experience and I d do it again .

    They do need culling ,did you see what they doing to the mud flats?I wouldn't eat any shell fish from the harbor now.
    Cockies aren't going to be pleased I expect .

    Be interesting to hear what the result of the crony is .The guy I got these off had some 32g think they where going out at 1425 fps.
    Doesn't say on the box's what these 36g #2 are doing but would think be around the 1500 fps as well ,seems to be what most of the 36g stuff I've used is doing .Eley are a bit quicker at 1550 fps .

    i buy a lot of the gamebore 12 gauge steel for mates and still have some here for one,your right the velocity isnt on them anymore ??
    the 3 inch super magnum 32 gram load was ,from last years box,doing 1550fps while the 2 3/4 inch 30 gram loads supposed to be around 1450 fps.
    they all seem to like it and its cleaner than eley which some have said this season seems excessively dirty.

    Think I'd rather go fishing than watch a bunch of limp dicks bleat about their moral high ground .Just trying to be little dictators & tell us what we're allowed to do in their ideal little worlds .We have rights too don't we ?

    That was some good video footage Happy.
    Just what was expected from the greenies and twisted fukn media tho

    Myself and possom trapper followed a creek earlier this arvo and never harmed a bird But you can see by the number of birds here also they will cause a shit load of pastural damage,not just grazing but faecal.

    30th June can't guarantee a duck but if we not out there can guarantee we won't get any. Bowl on down if you want
