    My mate in Timaru took my boy and I out last night. A couple of goats and 5 roos to the 22-250. Here's a picture of him ranging while my boy gets comfortable waiting for the stinkies to show themselves.

    Nice country for it and look at the grass you have down there. Send a couple of truck loads north.

    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

    Aha! I see someone else has access to our goat block! Lucky fellas

    (no wonder it hasn't been producing so well recently)

    We once walked up to the edge of the small basin just forward and to the left of that photo and found 40+ nannies and kids bedded down within 20 metres.

    I don't have access, he does. Apparently the farm is up for sale. He doesn't shoot it often though.
    It was a priviledge to shoot there as we found the roos out after dark.

    haha that actually was the case. Our son is 11 weeks old now so around 8 weeks old when we went camping so it was myself, my 3 older children and the dog went camping for two weeks. Mrs and baby visited most days for a short time
