That spikey acacia type bush behind us will definitely get Round Upped. Will have to be alert and attentive to our shooting direction, as the public car park is in range of falling shot. Still looks to be worth the effort for the allocated time period we have it. Whakatane Game Club just down the road for tea, Rugby on the telly and the Awakeri hot pools handy, so all good. There would of been 120 + ducks on the water halfway down the Lagoon another 40 or so flying around. Will be going across this coming weekend to work on the improvements.

    Nobody has done anything there for a while. I have been working most weekends and havn't been down since pulling the raupo. Hope to get down before they lock the gate to rebuild the maimai. Not ideal leaving it this late, but bloody work!!!! I will call in on the way past in case you are there at the same time.

    What the hell is pegging day Dundee? Is that when you have the washing out to dry?
    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
