    HI - another newbie

    Hi all

    New member, Keen on all types of hunting - Main focus has been Reds and small game. Always looking to add species to the tally.

    General rule for me and my kids is you shoot it you eat it - lol only 2 exceptions rats and possums.

    Trying to find the Buy sell section but seems to be alluding me - interested in a .223 with a 1/8 twist

    Cheers

    Get involved in discussions and the buy/sell section will show up eventually.
    Welcome to the forum. I've been told possum is actually quite good...

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

    whats wrong with possums
    if you watch 'keeping it wild' on youtube you'll see him cook and eat a mouse. I believe he said it tastes like a crunchy chicken nugget, or something. can't say i've done it myself though

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Welcome. Love hearing people getting there kids involved and understanding where meat comes from and ethics on shoot to eat. Hopefully when my wi one (2 year old) is older enough to come I’ll teach her the same.
    Best of luck
