A sad day indeed. RIP
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

Certainly a pioneer, a real go-er. From deer exports, imports of live animals, share farming in Russia, if there was a dollar to be made Tim was there and leading the way with his brilliant head for business, his innovation, great courage and determination.
But there was a less pleasant aspect, cutting down the Fiordland herd and turning it into a remnant, decimating the trophy areas around Wanaka and doing annual stag culls in all the trophy producing headwaters in Canterbury. Destroying others businesses with exclusive deals and staff poaching. He had the ear of Govt ministers and could get Waro concessions in the name of the export dollar. He lost two sons in tragic circumstances and I have reflected on this as perhaps proof that 'The sins of the father will be visited upon the sons'
'A life lived in full' but not without cost
