    It `s pleasure to join in.

    Hello Mates

    It’s great to join in here and it `s my pleasure to meet you guys. My hunting life started from a slingshot that my uncle made it for me when I was a boy and I used it to hunt sparrows. Made shot using clay mud. For few occasions, the prey can fill full my pockets. Have `t eat fried sparrows for a long time.

    And then a borrowed air rifle. After that I have 12ga shot gun for rabbits. In 90s, when we go to Inner Mongolia hunt for wild goats (quite like a fellow deer actually) and rabbits, at a good night hunt, as I remembered we can took out hundreds rabbits. It was the same thing like in here, rabbits and wolfs are the major threats to farmers in 90s.

    I like small games, rabbits hunt still is my favorite because I like the meat since I am good cook too. And, I like photography, thus sometime I use camera to make the shot. I am good at hiking and enjoy the time when I was in the mountains and forest as well my wife. So if any couples just like us, I am sure we can have lot funs and enjoy outdoors and good wild meals together.

    Well. that `s about it. See you guys…….over there……….cheers

    Yeah, fried with pork fat. Very tasty. I am still wondering if it is legal to hunt or net spprows in NZ since as govt treated it as flying pests.

    I think you are fine killing sparrows just be careful how you do it in built up areas. People love to complain

    Very similar to the way we did things in South Africa, 60 years ago. Great memories...when I can manage to drum them up on occasion!

    Welcome
    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
