    Scouser is getting old Dundee. His eyes are not as good as they once were.
    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

    It can't fly now justs stays down at the creek,when it was younger it use to follow the cows up the race to the dam paddock and fly back down to the creek late morning.
    It is quite a character. And have only ever seen two others in our area.It honks when ducks are coming in so always a good time to check the creek out if its honking.

    Got to the parking area before 06hr30...very misty morning...initially the visibility was not good...seems the duck guys had sporadic birds going by the volleys up and down the valley and beyond...the only birds we encountered were fantails and a blackbird...he worked the ground in his honest pedantic way but to no avail...the area of the river had been flooded due to a fallen tree and I just wonder if the birds have gone up or down stream as the area usually holds one or two birds...will do a revisit in the next couple of days...it was just so neat to be hunting with the dog...
