Enough and the problems just dissolve away?

True - lepto can't cause liver failure if your liver is already killed by Waikato

Thewuce I think the guys are just saying it's nice to know a bit about you before wading in, most people do an introduction and talk a bit about yourself and your interests . Welcome aboard.

+1 .Welcome aboard.

Think of it like a pub or other such place where people gather, if its not your local you're probably going to get a pretty frosty welcome by wading in, giving your glass a tap with a spoon and asking if someone can let you use a firearm on their property.
Nobody knows you from a bar of soap, its common courtesy to introduce yourself to others, get involved in conversation etc before you go making it seem like your sole purpose for being here is to get something for yourself, money or no money is beside the point. We let a few select people on our property to shoot and its because they have been polite, courteous, we have got to know them and we trust them to leave things as they found them, take all safety precautions using their firearms,take heed of our own on farm health and safety policy etc etc, no caretaker of the land worth their salt lets anyone roam round their property with a firearm because they waved some cash under their nose.

What if you filled multiple glasses with varying amounts of beer, and tapped them in a way which produced amazing music? Are you trying to argue that musicians don't offer anything of value to society, and that a humble glass cannot be used as an instrument?

Also - it's obvious the OP isn't a bar of soap. Have you ever seen a bar of soap get behind a computer?

i had a friend who shot on one property for years before finally inviting me along, when he quit thru ill health i continued and met that farmers neighbours. farmer 1 says "good guy" so i got to shoot there too. farmer 2 says good guy to farmer 3... etc etc etc

Okay okay you're actually making sense now, I guess I did kind of treat it like a newspaper ad. I think since I've been lurking for months I already felt like I was part of the gang or something haha.

Okay hi, I'm Lucy. I grew up on a farm in Tasmania and I've been shooting since I was 13 and hunting since I was 14. I moved to NZ two years ago and work in electronics repair, and I'll soonish be starting training to be a prison gua- sorry, I mean a "corrections officer". My ultimate goal is to buy a big piece of land and have a cattle farm like my dad did. On our farm in Tasmania we had a serious wallaby problem and a culling license but because we couldn't use semi automatics the only thing that worked for culling was loading six guys up on the back of a ute and rolling through the paddocks like an Al Queda death squad in a technical trying to pop wallabies from all sides with bolt actions. It was stupid dangerous and stupid fun.

I think gas piston is superior to direct impingement.
I think .300 blackout is a novelty and 7.62x39 is superior in every way because you don't need uber fancy subsonic handloads in a country with unregulated suppressors. Fight me.
I think Simonov would be stoked on my bubba SKS even though it can't hit largest side of barn
A shotgun with slugs is my favourite thing to shoot
A Barrett .50 Cal is my dream gun
I think wallaby mince and venison mince mixed 50/50 and cooked in to spaghetti bolognese is the most delicious thing in the world.

And I may or may not be a bar of soap, I cannot confirm or deny.

The two guys who've messaged me weren't realistic options so I'll give up on the newspaper ad and try some good old fashioned networking I guess.

Good to see you have a thick skin and a sense of humour. Down the middle of the south island there are quite a few wallabies bowled over in the manner you mention. I like to wrap the hind legs in smoky bacon and roast them. The networking bit works, it helps if we get to know you. Welcome aboard.

Was that "fight me" or "bite me"?

Good to see that those evil semis so reviled in aussie haven't corrupted us kiwis.
Oh and silencers haven't turned us into assassins either
