    LOL fair enough. I got a nice dark Te Puke fallow skin tanned last year, came up mint!

    Guess you'll just have to go bag another one.

    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

    Jeez Gibo you are a clever bugger putting something down to catch the dripping blood. My missus moans like buggery when I get her to clean the mess off the concrete.

    I got Trever Chappell in Taupo to do it for me. He did an epic job on it too. Cost about $140 including shipping to get done.

    I got a nice golden coloured one last year (spanish?) from the Te Puke herd, and had a go at tanning it myself. Made some mistakes, as it is not as soft as it should be, but looks great.
