    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

    Mourie from MS Woodcraft in Tauranga took this pic a few years back when he was trapping - a Victor will kill a stoat no problem


    Landcare have developed a modification for the Victor to ensure a stoat puts its head in the right place for a clean kill - also shows increased spring tension - I see people are making the shroud out of 2l milk bottle containers

    Time out what bait did you use to catch those fingers?

    The black ones seem to be cunning, I have shot 2 piebalds and 1 blue one but never a black one.
