    That top photo is postcard quality
    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

    Went on a duck hunt on the Hoteo River off the Kaipara on saturday, high tide around midday gave us (3) plenty of time to get set up, on the board with 'our' first shot tied up in the mangroves in the harbour itself

    then went for a cruise up the river, absolutely stunning place, my first time, no more birds brought down, few shots fired though....then had a 'couple' of beers with the locals in the Mangakura boat club....

    "I'll be back"......
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!

    elvis gave him the filthiest look and pretty much sulked and ignored him for the rest of the trip/hunt.
