    Glad to be here

    Was Mentioned I should introduce myself.

    Born and bred Cantab. Been hunting since I was knee high to a pee pot. Old man shoot off the helicopters all through the late 70s and into mid 80s.
    Grew up in Canterbury on a lifestyle block where we ventured adrift into the Alps every weekend.
    We brought a nice batch up in goose Bay 20 years ago and been going there for a long time and enjoying the Surf and mountains.

    Onto My working Career I have been a professional hunting guide for most of my working life we do just about everything from Tahr to possums. I guided some high fence stuff when I first started and moved onto guiding for free range animals as it just wasn't my cup of tea. But still do it every once in a while to pay the bills.

    Being flat out and guiding 50+ people every year for the last 10 years I am going to have a break next year and only take our Repeat Clients and freinds have hunted Africa and American and BC. Shot most deer species in Australia and some good ones at that..

    Always up for teaching others and having a ball 👌

    Cheers Tom

    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
