    It is good to see that little brothers still get a smack in the lug hole from older brothers.
    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

    Both of mine did Kotuku. Luckily they remember the bash and don't get out of line too much. That said, I have had more scraps with my brothers across time than I have with all other comers.

    Our group of 4 came away with 5 mallards and 1 pheasant, I got zip but had a wicked time! It's much more challenging than I thought. Going back this weekend, hopefully will have something more exciting to report

    What to say about opening weekend?

    After I pulled the pin on a hunting trip with @Toby and @upnorth uplander I was at a loose end, so ended up shooting a spot near Opotiki with my ol' man. The spot was new to us both and while a lot of ducks were seen we weren't in the best place to capitalize on that. Still, a few (and I really mean only a few, terrible shooting!) were taken both mornings, and more importantly learned a lot about shooting this spot, as it could turn out to be productive when we make some adjustments to the abandoned maimai we were using.

    Went out Sunday with the Old boys dog, Howie, who was the man of the match with a find on a unusually big covey of brownies. Produced them again on the second flush too.

    Then took my new recruit out for her first time on Sunday arvo, to have her find this for me. Steady to wing and shot, retrieved on command to hand. Took it all in stride. Its nice to see it all come together:

    Well done Pointer. I put one of them up at five yards myself this morning during my walk with the dog. Startled the hell out of me.
