    Fucken muppet towney has horses grazing and has hooked up the live wire to an uninsulated fence at the access point ...been a bit shocking down there till I used the PVC gloves.
    The electric shocks may be an attempt to cure your terrible release technique.
    Don't they sell nets in Dannivirke?

    It came with a few battle scars as he decided to get close and personal to the metal but not spilling his beer was impressive.

    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 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

    First day off work since Christmas Day . Decided to go for an arvo fish. Found "my spot" had some gate crashers but managed to fish politely around them and finished up with 5 for my first day on the river 2017. MIL still in town so a couple kept for the smoker. Caught these last two on consecutive casts. Caught the jack first and my guess is the hen just couldn't keep her mouth shut
