    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

    For some unknown reason we have seen quite a few killed on side of road opposite Park Island going into Napier. Death Valley for them.

    I watched two falcon harass a hawk in some awesome airobatic dogfighting. When the hawk bugged out one went tail end Charlie to make sure it didn't come back and the other went back to a tree where i assume they had a nest and I got an ok photo of it
    Falcons nest on the ground. i would rather a hawk over a magpie any day. hawks a good at finding slipped calves.

    the main population of falcon are in the Kaingaroa forest area. and surrounding bush blocks. take the time to go to wingspan in Rotorua they put on a great display with their falcons.
