    Good shit Chris. I was just over the hill from you for the last couple of days.
    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

    Nope, I went over the Kopu Hikuai. Thought about giving you a bell but then got on the Waikato with my brothers and that was the end of all other ideas.

    Today dawned clear after rain during the night...Harry and I were off to the river...he with the Beretta today...team leader Dionee...

    Early on in the piece she put up a rooster...bird away...going upstream she got onto some tantalizing scent beds but birds well gone...we encountered another shooter and spent sometime discussing the gamebird schedule with him as in taking the Spoonbill off the schedule, reducing mallard bags (for our region) and putting the teal back on the schedule...we were all in accord on that!!



    Then on the way back downstream, Dionee went on point on the edge of huge bramble bush...out of its midst rose a very nice covey of Californian quail, one of which Harry shot.

    We had had a five hour sojourn; getting back to the carpark and once Dionee was settled and comfortable we opened the thermi and whilst drinking coffee, we heard a rooster calling only some few hundred metres from the car park...!!!!
