    Labour Weekend Meat mission

    Went into a little honey hole that's always worth a look this time of year. All three of us gotta Deer each so the packs were heavy for the slog out. This spot has lots of grassy clearing so late afternoon is always productive. I shot a spiker on the camp clearing. Next day we lazed aroumd in camp until 2:30 then headed put for another look.
    At 6pm we heard Warren's shot in tje distance. 30 seconds later Oliver got a hind.
    It was getting close to dark so I got the pack horse to carry it back to tje hut.

    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

    That spot has always been good , despite the what some people say that 1080 kills everything , it sure as hell hasn’t in there. Well done and those ribs look good alright.
