    Taswegian

    G'Day, Roger here,
    Moved to Tassie about 7 years ago from Central West NSW...too hot and dry...
    Loving it here, a bit of hunting, fishing, boating and fantastic weather. Work as a welder and I like to build my own guns.

    Welcome aboard.
    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

    G'day mate, welcome.

    As a new tasmaniac I wonder if you have visited Liawenee? I'm told it it the capital of Australian boganism, which has always intrigued me. I've heard there is good hunting up there, if you survive the exposure.

    Welcome.
    It's a fair few years since I visited Tassie. Best holiday we ever had in Oz.
    Visited a few nooks and crannies eg Savage River but missed many too due to time contains.
    Love to go back.
    Had an ex work mate who had worked at Savage and another who had worked on King Island in a sheelite mine.
    And another who was actually born in Grassy.

    Love the Tassie people, mainland Aussies carry on like they are 6 fingered hicks and dumb as a bag of hammers, fark! I know who the dumbarses are and it ain't the Tassie mob! (To be fair I just might be biased!)

    Welcome. Never been to Tas, but it looks like NZ with snakes. I'll pass!

    Roger,
    How about telling us about the guns you build or those you like to hunt with.

    Only a couple of snakes here MB, and they bugger off pretty quick...I came down from Orange CB, not as far out as you.
    If you go to the Accuratereloading, NitroExpress and AfricanHunting forums you'll see some of my stuff ( look under....yumastepside ) but I'll post some of my stuff as I go along







    ...some stock work and the endless " in progress " stuff

    Welcome aboard, we had a weeks holiday in Tassie a few years ago for my sister in law’s birthday bash and had a great time.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!
