    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    So cute
    I'm glad you got another pup Tahr, sometimes you have to let a bit of time go by before getting back into the dog thing. You soon remember the nutyness of young dogs though aye
    Don't know if the wife will be too happy getting Bellas fir all muddy when she ventures out

    @Tahr
    Good to see someone to carry on Tilly’s job.
    She looks a promising pup.
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Thanks to a good Bugger from here I got out with the dog this morning and managed to tip over a young nanny for winter goat curry. Ziggy indicated well but struggled with the gunshots and shut down a bit. She was excited once we tracked in on the downed goat so hoping she will put 2+2 together and get over the gun shyness. (I have gone through the blueprint gun proofing method to Tee) just one of those dogs I think.

    This is Max, who lived to a ripe old age of 16, unfortunately we had to bury Max last week, a very difficult time of life.
    He was a very loyal friend.

    That's a good innings there, Max! 16 years of great memories, sorry to hear of your loss @DPT it's never easy, and nothing said can make it easier. The house will be quieter but remember the good times, laugh at the silly times and never forget.

    Sorry to hear that DPT. Sonsad when it happens.
    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

    Anyone's mutt also like to climb wood piles? He'll happily climb up put his front paws up on the fence a watch people and traffic drive past. Must look hilarious from the other side this pup looking over a 2m high fence.

    18 Month old Male French Brittany - Roki (like Loki , but with an R)

    His first real Mission on Saturday and pointed like an absolute champ - We'd only done hides up until this point so this was his first real deer per se.

    Shot was taken from approx 15m away , and he was bedded down waiting for me to shoot - not something I'd taught but was definitely thankful for.
