    That is going to up the ante dundee.
    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

    Well done possum trapper. If you're after basic .177 slugs PM an address and I'll send a couple of boxes.

    After about 300km and 10 hours I finished up with 5 rabbits and a hare. All shot under LED torch.

    A far cry from a couple of years ago when we would have nailed 450-500 a night. With a poison op, a couple of waves of the disease sweeping through and constant effort with the shooters the numbers seem to be on a steady decline.

    Sure is a long way, but for 2 or 200 critters it's still really good fun. Should have brought a few home as most were head shot.
