    Our wee spot on the manawatu is looking good, apart from the fact the maimai was washed away and we have had to construct a makeshift one. 200 plus birds on the water hopefully there is no significant rainfall to raise river levels.

    Totally agree, majestic game bird vs duckling killing bastards. Still both good fun to hunt though.

    That is true Dundee but I am far better looking and don't sound like a POME. Ha ha ha ha. I guess I owe @Scouser a beer now.
    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
