As an old man I can tell you it doesn't work like that - the one with the biggest mouth gets the job because he knows how to blow smoke right up your arse. It applies to politicians, car salesmen,...

Akaroa's right - it's quite astonishing what's in this country I had a nice lightweight Rigby .275 (7x57) I couldn't resist taking into the Urewera'a and I went over a bank with that thing and...

When setting out and possum trapping a 'line' I'd see reds for the first couple/three days, then they cleared off and left all to me. Sika know when it's the weekend, they lie low then reappear on...

I forgot to mention 'ridicule' ................. once you've 'ridiculed' someone, or have been 'ridiculed' yourself - then it's pretty hard to live that down - because someone somewhere knows you've...

Another one is a black type wasp, disturbed a nest of those a few years back and they gave me gyp - very painful. At one time I was collecting wasp nests to use as wadding in my BP guns and old...

Enjoyed that - never been there but it looks really nice country. About knees - was on a 'farm hunt' probably four years ago and stepped in a grass covered hole that toppled me. Next day my knee...

Never saw that movie, but my dad worked in the Welsh mines when he was a kid leading the horses hauling the coal carts - they'd go blind in the dark and get a bit crotchety sometimes and he had one...

Forgot to mention I was shooting those BRNO loads out of my BSA Viscount - it's a strong gun. The Mauser '98 is probably considered the 'strong action' out of the Mauser's - the 7x57mm being...

That's a nice project and well done. My mate has one of those already done in 50/70 and loves it - he's got the 'unaltered' paper cartridge one too. I got a sporting Snider (Reilly) I'm shooting...
