    Hey. Geez your life sounds eerily like mine

    My dad was a culler/possumer. Stopped doing that when he made enough to buy a farm.
    I grew up in the bush, used to run trap lines and cull goats as a toddler in dads backpack.
    Trapped possums while I was a kid to make pocket money.
    Shot my first deer age 9 with a 22 magnum, while checking my possum line.
    Got given a shot-out 303, then saved enough to buy a 243 at age 15.
    Had normal calibres - 308/270/3006, then went to magnums, and now a .280 is my everyday carry (my 280 is the gun I have owned the longest out of all of them)
    And I've been into longer range stuff for a couple of years now and it's a tad addictive.

    Hardcase.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
