    School Holiday Goat Hunt

    Had this week off work to look after the kids while they're on school hols.
    Weather was mint, so what better to do but go hunting!!

    Went to my usual spot for goats so I could get some more dog tucker.
    Quite an easy wander normally, but due to last weeks rain it made things a tad muddy and slippery. And the young bulls hadn't made the tracks any better either.
    It is a 10km round trip and the kids handled it really well. Totally buggered by tea time though. They should sleep really well!!
    Best thing was, the kids spotted the goats before I did.
    Shame I had to do a couple of quick shots as they saw us and were on the run. Would've been nice to set the kids up to drop them.
    Never mind there'll away's be a next time.

    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

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.
