    The video wouldn't load for me but it is probably my iPad and the wifi connection that I am using
    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

    WTF are you on about now? I was operating a machine on venison at/near Wakarara in the winter of 2011. Seen sika, plenty of, I might add, not that far away. Maybe you dont fucking know everything eh?
    When I get back to my laptop tonight, I will post a couple picks that have 2 sika we shot and I am sure it has the valley between Wakarara range and the ruahines in the background.
    Would that shut your gob?
