    A six point jap I roared in. He was coming straight towards me and I was a bit disappointed to find after shooting him he was completely lacking trey tines. The bonus was a great skin which I am getting tanned.

    Well done Shearer
    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

    You must be a bloody good hunter if you're a bit disappointed with that one shearer. It's a beaut.

    No. More than happy. He just looked like a good 8 when I squeezed off the shot. A form of ground shrinkage I guess.

    Went out yesterday to a spot we have been hunting hard for a year and just getting to grips with the place and the layout of the land.
    A fortnight ago i seen a decent buck but took to long to pull the trigger, as i checked the head again it bolted, well im glad i didnt shoot it as now i realise that he still had another 3 years growth to hit full potential for the area.
    Yesterday my hunting mate was the lucky one, he pulled the trigger on a once in a lifetime Buck. I will measure it tomorrow hopefully but in the meantime here is a pick of it.
