Yeah cause all North Islander hunters are trigger Happy office workers that dust off the Shooter once a year to go scare the crap out of eachother, must be nice down there in the wooly south with only expert bush man around that only shoot a deer after inspecting every other animal in the catchment, some of you guys have your heads up your arse down there, and no before you ask im not a desk Jocky but do live in the North Island and hunt at least once a week. go figure:ORLY:

Fantastic second post :) Way to keep the N vs S fire going :D

Nice. This thread seems to have sparked up a "them vs us" mentality quite nicely. As long as we're all happy and nobody loses an eye.

Always found the first hour in from the road end the scariest...sorry to hear you were forced to work in the North, we have done our best to abolish slavery, but fuck it, someone has to pick the cotton.
