    On the road again! After last weeks aborted attempt are back on the road! Sighted our rifles on the farm and banged a few rabbits over in Taupo! Venision back straps and eggs for dinner, washed with a few beers and a nice red. Shortly to bed sand then a leisurely drive down the island to Wanganui! Bit of luck some fresh venison and home on Tuesday.

    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

    Headed off to Taupo Sunday, mowed lawns and cut the edges at the Bach, then off down the road to sight rifles and shoot a few rabbitsName:  image.jpg
Views: 293
Size:  710.0 KB the .22 hornet was a bit of fun, ended up with 4 and a stray magpie.
    Back to the Bach for a feed of venison and eggs for dinner with a few beers and nice bottle of red wine, slept well!
    Up early and off on a leisurely drive down the centre of the island to Bulls, quick look around Taihape and a stop at Mangaweka, Main Street is like straight from the Wild West!Name:  image.jpg

    A quick look at the "antique" shop in Hunterville and the one on the right hand corner of the tee section at Bulls, where my mate picked up a well priced, old Mitchell surf casting reel. On to Wanganui, quick look at Wilsons, lunch in town, a parking ticket and we are on the road to Dan and Mary's. Great rally car drive to their place, but with caution on the blind corners after a near miss with a quarry truck!
    Arrived settled in and tossed a coin as to who was having the evening shoot and who was the sucker for the early morning one! I lost!
    Mate headed out and I sat round reading, drinking beer and preparing dinner. Got a chance to take some photos

    Both shot with his Brno .22 Hornet, which did the job well.
    Dinner served with more beer and stout, I could do without the stout!

    Can't say we don't eat healthy
    Up at 5:30am and out the door, up the track and up the "mountain" all I need at that hour, my mate did the flats and told Dan I needed some exercise!
    Got a bit of height and sidled round from gut to gut glassing as we went. We dropped down onto a bulldozed track and third time lucky!
    Dan walks round the corner but missed the young stag about 100 metres above us, I managed to haul him back without being noticed and he then decided it was to good to shoot for meat! But sitting down about 20 metres to the right was a another stag, just its head showing, I got a shot lined up at the back of the head and it disappeared before I could fire, bugger. The other stag was munching on unconcerned, so we sat still for a few mins and the smaller one stood up, facing away from us, I put a shot with the 223 75grain just behind the front leg, and through the top of the heart.

    Back for breaks by 8:00am
    Packed and on the road by 10am, back through Marton this time, haven't been there for 30 yrs! Haven't missed much,Mobutu there's a bloody good old school book shop with NZ hunting and shooting books you don't normally find in shops anymore and a really hard case guy owns it.
    Back home for dinner, deer in mates chiller and off for processing tomorrow.
    Great road trip, costs a little but well looked after and great facilities as @quentin will find out this weekend!

    Well done to both but you lazy bugger Maca. You got a young fella to carry for you.

    @Maca49 Looking forward to it.
    We are heading off there mid week, so can break up the working week. Also leaves my weekend free to get some spearfishing in.
