    Rotorua newby

    From Rotovagas area. Just love being in the bush. So new to hunting that I am trying to save for my first centrefire. Probably finish up with a Lee Enfield, Then when I find I cant shoot straight I can beat them to death with the blunt end. The deer around these parts must be scared of my hunting prowess as they hide from me and wont come out.
    Pengy and petronious_arbiter like this.

    Deer do that to newbys but if you keep at it they give up and show themselves.

    So true, - how many times have you had one laugh so much it got the stitch and blundered out where you can see it

    Welcome Chindit.
    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
