    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

    Seems to be a few Kereru around the Quarry Park these days - I saw four last evening without even looking - they were all stripping Kowhai trees - clambering around on small branches to get the fresh growth
    I was talking to an old Guy up near the bush a couple of days back - he was grazing his horse down the side of the road and smoking a strange looking pipe - he told me “no hunting up this road bro” - I told him I had been doing pest control in the reserve just up the road and there were plenty of Kereru around (thought he might give me access to the bush) - he said they were fattening up nicely right now and the rats back in the bush further were really good kai!
