    Welcome Terry. Enjoy.
    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

    Keep at it - if you're spooking them then that is a good start

    Cheers guys thanks for the welcome, i think the main problem im having and alot of new hunters (there seems to be alot) is that unless you have some family involved in the sport your shit out of luck when it comes down to actual guidence! There is alot of advice which is great!!!!!! But when it really comes down to the crunch people arent overly keen to take someone out,
    Ive just been bush bashing and learning alot watching and reading everything i can. as with most things i figure time and experience is the key

    Welcome Blisters.. Not sure I'll ever say that again. Blisters suck!
    In Seriousness though, there are plenty good buggers around here. And probably someone from around the corner from ya. Once the folk here get to know your banter and jive, it's likely you'll get an invite on an armed tramp sometime.
